Pork Dumplings

Combine ground pork, minced ginger, minced garlic, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, beaten egg, and shredded Chinese cabbage in a large bowl. Mix until evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the filling.

Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper.

Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling, then fold the left and right corners toward the center, creating a small rectangular pocket. Wet the edges lightly with water and press to seal.

Bring the two top corners of the sealed pocket together and pinch firmly to create the characteristic dumpling shape, similar to a tortellini.

Repeat the filling, folding, and shaping process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling until all dumplings are formed. Place finished dumplings on a parchment-lined tray.

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, gently drop dumplings into the boiling water.

Cook dumplings for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and remain there for 30 seconds, indicating they are fully cooked.

Remove cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with remaining batches until all dumplings are cooked.

Serve dumplings hot with additional soy sauce, sesame oil, or a dipping sauce of choice.
