Time 5m

Yield 70-100 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package dumpling wrappers
1 lb ground pork
2 cups Chinese cabbage
1/4 cup onion
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sesame seed oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons chicken soup base

Steps:

  • Finely dice cabbage and onions.
  • Mix all the filling ingredients together except the cabbage, add cabbage only when you're about to wrap it.
  • Fill and fold wrappers in half. Pinch sides to ensure they won't break open during cooking.
  • Put enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan, layer the jiao zi, and then brown the bottom (should take about 1 minute or until the bottom of the jiao zi is brown with highest heat),
  • Add one tablespoon of water and cover the pan quickly to let the jiao zi be cooked by the steam.
  • Turn the stove to medium until they are cooked (roughly two or three minutes at least). If you're not sure if they're cooked, taste one and see.
  • Enjoy :-).
