Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 pound ground beef or pork
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or pork. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Divide the rested dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle, about 5 inches in diameter.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each dough circle. Top with shredded cabbage, green onions, and cilantro.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dumplings and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately. Steam the dumplings for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove the lid and cook for an additional minute to crisp the bottoms.
- Serve hot with Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the meat with crumbled tofu or a mix of sautéed mushrooms and vegetables.
- Add a splash of rice vinegar to the meat mixture for an extra tangy flavor.
