Ingredients
Dumpling Wrapper Dough
- 2 1/4 cups AP Flour
- 3/4 cup Hot Water
Dumpling Filling
- 1/2 pound Ground Pork
- 1/2 cup Scallions, chopped
- 2 TB Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp Ginger, grated
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 cups Cabbage, finely chopped
Instructions
Dumpling Wrapper Dough
- Combine ingredients in a bowl using your hands until it comes together.
- Once it forms a ball knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and rest for 15 minutes.
- Remove plastic wrap and knead again for about 5 minutes until the dough is very smooth.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Punch down a hole in the center of the dough with your thumb and shape into a large ring, pulling out the dough until it has a large hole in the center.
- Cut through a section of the dough so it's now a long rope.
- Cut off pieces of dough, about 10-12 grams each.
- Keep the dough covered under a towel or plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out while rolling the wrappers.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out each piece of dough into a circle to create the dumpling wrappers.
- Layer each piece with generous amounts of flour so the wrappers don't stick together.
Dumpling Filling and Assembly
- Combine dumpling filling ingredients together.
- Scoop about 1 TB of filling in the center of the dumpling wrappers.
- Pinch the seams together to form a half moon shape and flatten the bottom out.
- Once the dumplings are filled, heat a pan to medium heat with some oil.
- Sear the flat bottom of the dumplings until golden.
- Carefully pour in about 1/4 cup water in the pan and cover to steam the dumplings until they are cooked through (about 5 minutes).
