Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 lb Ground Pork can substitute with chicken or tofu
  • 1 cup Cabbage can substitute with napa cabbage or bok choy

  • 0.5 cup Onions cook until soft
For the Wrappers
  • 1 package Won Ton Wrappers or rice paper for gluten-free
For Seasoning
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce to taste
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil adds nutty flavor
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
For Frying
  • 0.25 in Vegetable Oil enough to cover the bottom of the pan

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • frying pan
  • measuring spoons
  • Mixing Bowl
  • plate

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Finely chop the cabbage, carrots, green onions, and onions. Sauté each vegetable separately in a large skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until softened. Mix with ground pork and season with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Lay won ton wrappers flat on a surface. Place about 1 tsp of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten edges with water, fold to form a triangle, and pinch edges tightly.
  3. In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 3-4 minutes. Test by dropping a wrapper piece in; it should sizzle.
  4. Fry dumplings for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden and crispy. Flip and fry for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. Transfer dumplings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with a dipping sauce.
