Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground pork, cabbage, green onion, and soy sauce in a bowl until combined.

  2. Step 2

    Lay a dumpling wrapper flat. Add 1 tbsp filling to the center, then wet the edge with water.

  3. Step 3

    Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Place dumplings flat-side down in a single layer. Fry undisturbed for 3 minutes until golden and crispy.

  6. Step 6

    Flip each dumpling and fry for 1 more minute. Serve hot.
