Pork And Cabbage Dumplings Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the uncooked pork, ginger, garlic, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg and cabbage; stir until well mixed.
• Place 1 heaping teaspoon of pork filling onto each wonton skin; moisten edges with water then fold edges over to form a triangle shape.
• Roll edges slightly to seal in filling.
• Set dumplings aside on a lightly floured surface until ready to cook.
• TO COOK: Steam dumplings in a covered bamboo or metal steamer (an electric veggie steamer works great also) for 15-20 minutes.
• Serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce.

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix all ingredients except wonton skins, additional green onions and soy sauce.
• Cut wonton skins with 3-inch round cutter. Place 1 wonton skin on work surface. (Cover remaining skins with damp paper towel to prevent drying out.) Lightly brush edges of wonton skin with water. Spoon 1 teaspoon filling just below center of skin. Fold wonton skin over filling to form a half moon; press edges to seal well. (Cover filled wontons with damp paper towel to prevent drying out.) Repeat with remaining wonton skins and filling.
• In Dutch oven, heat 3 quarts water to boiling. Add half of dumplings. Boil 3 to 5 minutes or until edges of wonton skins are clear. Using slotted spoon, remove dumplings from water; drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dumplings. Garnish with additional green onions. Serve warm with soy sauce.
