By Dolphl1970

Ingredients

• 1 cup of cabbage, shredded
• 1 pound of ground pork
• 1/4 cup of ginger, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of sesame oil
• 1/2 cup of scallions, white and green parts, sliced 1/8-inch thick
• Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Place cabbage in a strainer over a bowl. Salt cabbage and let rest for about 30 minutes; rinse and finely chop. Fill a large bowl with ice. Set a medium bowl into the ice-filled bowl. In the smaller bowl combine cabbage, pork, ginger and sesame oil and mix to combine. Fold in scallions. Season with salt and pepper. In a small saute pan or in a microwave, cook a small amount of the filling to check for seasoning. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Follow directions for filling by using your homemade dumpling skins or store bought. Enjoy!
