Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup boiling water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ground pork
  • ½ cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, whisk flour and salt. Gradually add boiling water while stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes; let rest covered for 30 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape; pinch the edges to seal. Optionally, pleat edges for decorative effect.
  4. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper. Place dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they are not touching. Steam over boiling water for 10-15 minutes until cooked through and translucent.
