# What you'll need:
→ Filling
01 - 3 cups finely shredded green cabbage
02 - 1/2 cup shredded carrot
03 - 2 green onions, finely sliced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
06 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
07 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Dumpling Assembly
10 - 24 round dumpling wrappers (store-bought or homemade)
11 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
12 - 1/4 cup water, divided
→ Ginger Soy Dipping Sauce
13 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce
14 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
15 - 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
16 - 1 tablespoon water
17 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
18 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
19 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
20 - 1 teaspoon finely chopped green onion (for garnish)
# Method:
01 - Combine cabbage, carrot, green onions, garlic and grated ginger in a mixing bowl. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and black pepper until evenly distributed. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to soften the cabbage and allow flavors to meld.
02 - Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the wrapper edge with water, fold into a half-moon and press the edges to seal; pleat the edge if desired. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
03 - Warm a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Arrange half of the dumplings flat-side down in a single layer without crowding.
04 - Cook the dumplings 2 to 3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Add 2 tablespoons water to the pan, cover immediately and steam for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining oil and dumplings.
05 - Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, water, grated ginger, sesame oil and chili flakes until sugar dissolves. Transfer to a small bowl and top with chopped green onion.
06 - Arrange the dumplings on a warmed platter and serve immediately with the ginger soy sauce alongside. Offer additional garnishes such as sliced cucumber or extra scallions if desired.
