Ingredients

  • about 450 g Ground pork
  • 4 cups Napa cabbage
  • 1/2 cup Green onions
  • 1 tbsp Ginger
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Tapioca starch
  • 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1 package Rice flour
  • 2 tbsp Coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Finely chop the 4 cups of Napa cabbage into about 0.32 cm pieces, mince the 1 tbsp of ginger, mince the 2 cloves of garlic, and finely slice the 1/2 cup of green onions.
  2. 2In a large mixing bowl, combine the about 450 g of ground pork, the finely chopped 4 cups of Napa cabbage, the finely sliced 1/2 cup of green onions, the minced 1 tbsp of ginger, the minced 2 cloves of garlic, the 1 tbsp of tapioca starch, the 2 tbsp of rice vinegar, the 1 tsp of sesame oil, the 1/2 tsp of salt, and the 1/4 tsp of pepper; mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. 3Take one rice flour dumpling wrapper from the 1 package of rice flour wrappers and place approximately 1 tablespoon of the pork filling in its center. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, then firmly crimp the edges together to seal the dumpling completely.
  4. 4In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp of coconut aminos, the 1 tbsp of rice vinegar, and the 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes to create the dipping sauce.
  5. 5Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat (100°C). Carefully lower the assembled dumplings into the boiling water, ensuring they do not stick together.
  6. 6Cook the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the internal temperature of the pork reaches 72°C when measured with a meat thermometer. The wrappers will appear translucent and slightly swollen when cooked through.
  7. 7Carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the pot using a slotted spoon and serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce.
