Ingredients

• Ground pork
• Green cabbage or napa cabbage finely chopped
• Medium-sized carrot, grated finely
• Green onions, finely chopped
• Fresh ginger, grated
• Finely chopped garlic
• Soy sauce
• Sesame oil
• Optional oyster sauce
• Sugar
• Salt
• White or black pepper
• Cornstarch
• Round dumpling noodles or wonton noodles
• Parchment paper, cabbage leaves, or a little oil for the steamer basket
• Soy sauce
• Rice vinegar
• Sesame oil
• Grated ginger
• Honey or sugar
• A few drops of hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the shredded cabbage in a bowl with a small pinch of salt. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then gently press with your hands or a clean cloth to remove some water. This prevents the filling from being too wet.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and cornstarch.
3. Mix until the preparation becomes slightly sticky and well homogeneous.
4. Place about 1 tsp of filling in the center of each wrapper.
5. Gently moisten the edge with water, then fold and pinch to form a half-circle or small dumpling-style pleat. Seal well.
6. Place the formed dumplings on a lightly floured or parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Line the steamer basket with perforated parchment paper, cabbage leaves, or a light oil film to prevent the dumplings from sticking.
8. Arrange the dim sum in the basket, leaving a small space between each one.
9. Bring water to a boil under the steamer basket.
10. Cook the dim sum for 10-12 minutes, until the dough is tender and the pork filling is well cooked.
11. Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
12. Serve with the hot dim sum.
