Instruction

  • Knead flour with 150 ml (approximately 5 ounces) of water to a smooth dough, wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut pork into very fine strips. Rinse cabbage and cut crosswise into very thin strips.
  • Peel the onions and cut into strips. Peel and finely chop ginger.
  • Peel the garlic and press through a garlic press.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or a wok. Season the meat with salt and cook over high heat for 2 minutes, stirring. Remove meat from pan.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan and sauté onion for 1 minute over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add cabbage and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes while stirring.
  • Pour in 100 ml (approximately 3 1/2 ounces) of water and cook covered for 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the pork and let cool.
  • Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 minutes.
  • Form the dough into a roll of about 2 1/2 cm (approximately 1 inch) in diameter and cut into 16 equal pieces. Cover with plastic wrap.
  • Roll the dough pieces into 12 cm (approximately 4 3/4-inch) diameter circles. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons filling on the dough. Fold dough over and shape into crescents. Using a fork, press the edges together firmly.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet. Place 4 dumplings flat side down in the skillet and fry for 2 minutes at medium heat.
  • Add 75 ml (approximately 1/3 cup) of water to the skillet, cover and cook for 6-7 minutes. Remove cover and continue to cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Successively cook the remaining dumplings in batches of 4, adding 2 tablespoons oil with each batch. Serve with plum sauce. Tip: To speed preparation, work with 2 skillets at the same time.
