Ingredients

For the dumplings

• 16 round dumpling or potsticker wrappers (approximately)
• 1-2 tbsp (15-30 ml) oil
• Dipping sauce of choice (see below)

For the filling

• 1/2 lb (227 g) ground pork (or any ground meat)
• 1 cup (240 ml) finely chopped cabbage
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) shredded carrot, then finely chopped
• 2 stalks green onion, minced fine
• 2 tsp (10 ml) soy sauce or fish sauce
• 1 tsp (5 ml) sesame oil
• 1 tsp (5 ml) garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) onion powder
• 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) ground black pepper

Sauce suggestions

• Vietnamese fish sauce dip (nước mắm chấm)
• Chili crunch
• Homemade sriracha sauce
• Dumpling dipping sauce

Equipment

• Large skillet or griddle
• Oil sprayer (optional)

Instructions

1. Chop cabbage, carrot, and green onions finely so the filling sticks well to the wrapper.
2. In a bowl, combine ground pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, soy or fish sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
3. Spread 1-2 tbsp (15-30 ml) of filling evenly across each dumpling wrapper, all the way to the edges.
4. Heat skillet over medium-high and add a light layer of oil.
5. Place wrappers meat-side down in skillet. Press firmly to flatten the filling. Cook 1-2 minutes until meat is crisp and cooked through.
6. Spray or brush a little oil on top of the wrappers. Flip and cook wrapper-side down until crispy, about 1 minute.
7. Remove from heat. Cool slightly and serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

• Square wonton wrappers may be used. If using egg roll wrappers, cut into 4 squares before filling.
• Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days. For freezing, use an airtight bag. Thaw fully before reheating in a skillet.
