Pork-and-Cabbage Dumplings image

These juicy dumplings are easy to make. When cooking for a crowd, Eunsook Pai sears the dumplings a couple of hours in advance and then steams them just before serving. Although she makes her dumpling wrappers from scratch, store-bought ones also do the trick.

Time 1h

Yield Makes 80

Number Of Ingredients 15

7 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more if needed
6 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage (about 1/2 head)
1 3/4 teaspoons fine sea salt, divided
2 cups thinly sliced Vidalia onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives (about 1 bunch)
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 4 scallions), plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic (about 6 cloves)
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
Homemade Dumpling Wrappersor 80 store-bought (3-inch rounds; from two 12-ounce packages)
2 large egg whites

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large saute pan or wok over high heat. Saute cabbage, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and transfer to a large bowl. Heat another tablespoon vegetable oil, and saute onion, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, add to bowl with cabbage, and let cool 5 minutes. Process in a food processor until just coarsely chopped, and return to bowl.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in pan over medium heat, and saute chives until just tender, about 1 minute. Transfer to chopped cabbage mixture, and let cool. Stir in scallions, garlic, pork, sesame seeds, sesame oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl; set dipping sauce aside.
  • Working with 1 wrapper at a time, moisten edge with egg whites, then place 2 teaspoons filling in center. Fold in half to form a half-moon, press edge to seal tightly, and place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  • Wipe out pan. Working in batches and wiping out pan between each, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil until shimmering, and sear dumplings until browned, about 1 minute per side. (If preparing in advance, stop here and steam before serving.) Add 1/4 cup water, and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Steam dumplings 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, and loosely tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with rest of dumplings. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve dumplings with dipping sauce.

These dumplings were so good, I ate them all in one sitting! I'll definitely be making them again soon.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dumplings turned out really oily. I think I might have added too much oil to the pan.

These dumplings were a disappointment. The filling was dry and the wrappers were tough.

I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but these dumplings were still really good. The pork filling was flavorful and the wrappers were nice and crispy.

I found the dumplings to be a bit bland. I think I would add more ginger and garlic next time.

The dumplings were a bit too greasy for my taste, but the flavor was good.

These dumplings were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought dumpling wrapper and the filling was very flavorful.

I loved the contrast between the crispy wrapper and the soft, tender filling. The dumplings were also very flavorful, thanks to the generous amount of ginger and garlic.

These dumplings were a hit with my family! The pork and cabbage filling was flavorful and juicy, and the wrappers were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again.
