Step 1
Chop cabbage finely and squeeze out excess moisture in a clean kitchen towel. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 2
Add ground pork, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper to the cabbage. Mix until just combined.
Step 3
Place 1 teaspoon filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet the edge with water and fold in half, then pleat the curved edge.
Step 4
Set dumplings seam-side up on a parchment-lined tray. Cover with a damp towel until ready to cook.
Step 5
For pan-fried: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high. Arrange dumplings flat-side down, cook 2 minutes until golden.
Step 6
Add 0.5 cup water, cover, and steam for 6-8 minutes until water evaporates and filling is cooked through.
Step 7
Alternatively, steam in a bamboo steamer over boiling water for 10 minutes until dumplings are translucent.
Step 8
Mix soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil in a small bowl. Serve dumplings hot with dipping sauce.
