A delightful recipe for homemade dumplings filled with a savory shrimp and pork mixture, perfect for any occasion.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the shredded cabbage and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Salting the cabbage helps draw out excess moisture, ensuring the filling isn't too watery.
Squeeze out the liquid from the cabbage and shrimp.
Removing excess moisture prevents the dumplings from becoming soggy.
Combine the cabbage, shrimp, pork, soy sauce, rice wine, green onion, ginger, and garlic in a bowl.
Mix the filling thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Place a small amount of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and seal tightly.
Press out any air pockets to prevent the dumplings from bursting during cooking.
Heat a skillet with a bit of oil and cook the dumplings until the bottoms are golden brown.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the dumplings.
Add a splash of water to the skillet, cover, and steam the dumplings until cooked through.
Covering the skillet traps steam, cooking the dumplings evenly.
Mix the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Adjust the dipping sauce to your taste by adding a bit of sugar or chili flakes.
Serve the dumplings warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
