50 minThis classic Chinese dumpling filling combines tender ground pork with a trio of vegetables that stay crisp and release their juices as the dumplings cook.
The pork marinates with ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce for 30 minutes before mixing with chopped napa cabbage, leeks, and yellow onion.
A fresh egg binds everything together while you stir clockwise for 5 minutes to develop the right texture.
Store-bought wrappers make this weeknight-friendly. Fill, fold, and cook them by boiling until they float or steaming for 20 minutes.
Serve with the traditional dipping sauce of vinegar, chili oil, and minced ginger and garlic.
Pro Tips
- Don’t overfill wrappers or they’ll burst during cooking
- Stir from the bottom when boiling to prevent sticking
- Watch for wrappers to change color when steaming (means they’re done)
- Make double batch and freeze uncooked dumplings on a floured tray
- Leftover filling keeps for 2 days in the fridge
