Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, ground pork, ginger, scallions, low-sodium soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, egg, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour.
- Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of filling onto the center of a dumpling wrapper. Dip your finger in water and brush over the edges of the wrapper, then fold the wrapper over the filling to meet in the center. Fold the outside edges inward and pleat to seal. Place on the floured baking sheet and repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the dumplings to the pan and cook until the bottoms are brown, about 5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of water to the pan. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated. Remove the dumplings from the pan and repeat with the remaining dumplings.
- Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the chile oil, low-sodium soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, and ginger.
- Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate, flipping some bottom-side up. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce alongside.
- Enjoy!
