DUMPLINGS
Ingredients

1 tablespoon Oil

2 teaspoons Garlic finely chopped

1 tabelspoon Ginger finely chopped

½ cup Red onion finely chopped

2 cups green Cabbage finely chopped

2 cups red Cabbage finely chopped

2 Carrots, shredded

Salt to taste

¼ teaspoon pepper

1 cup Spring onion

3 tbs Soy sauce

2 tbs rice vinegar

1 pack of dumpling wrappers

Instructions 

Making stuffing:

Heat the oil on medium-high heat and fry ginger, garlic for few seconds.

Then stir fry chopped vegetables, stirring continuously for 3-4 minutes.

Add the soy sauce and green onions. Now add salt and pepper, stir fry again for 2 minutes. Make sure not to overcook as the mix will cook again in the dumplings.

Turn off the stove.

Let the stuffing cool down.

Shaping and pan frying dumplings:

Put 2 tablespoons of stuffing in the center and shape the dumplings, or as much as will fit.

Using a wet finger, wet the rim of the dumpling wrapper. Fold in half and press together. Crimp if desired.

Once they’re shaped, put a generous amount of oil (1 tbs) in a hot skillet. Place dumplings bottom side down.

Once browned and golden, quickly pour 1/2 cup of water into skillet and cover immediately with a lid to trap the steam.

Once the water is gone, the dumplings should be done. Check if perfectly chewy. If they need a bit more time, adjust how much water you add.

Repeat until all dumplings are cooked.
