Ingredients

1 pack dumpling wrappers store-bought
water for wrapping

Filling:

8 oz (230g) ground pork
4 oz (120g) shrimp shelled and deveined, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup napa cabbage sliced
1 stalk scallion cut into small rounds
1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese Shaoxing wine or rice wine
3 dashes white pepper powder
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch salt

Dipping Sauce:

Chinese black vinegar
soy sauce
chili oil
white sesame

Instructions

The Filling

Mix all the Filling ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine well. Set aside. To make the Dipping Sauce, combine 1 portion of black vinegar, 1/2 portion of soy sauce, and the ginger in a small sauce dish.

The Dumplings

Take a piece of the dumpling wrapper and place about 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center. Dip your index finger into a small bowl of water and moisten the outer edges of the wrapper.
Fold the dumpling in half to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges with your thumb and index finger to ensure the dumpling is sealed tightly. Place the dumplings on a flat, floured surface to prevent them from sticking. Repeat the process until all the filling is used.
Heat a pot of water until it boils. Drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cover the pot. Once the dumplings float to the surface (indicating they are cooked), remove them with a slotted spoon, drain the excess water, and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

Notes

There are different kinds of dumpling wrappers in the market. Choose the ones which are round and labeled as "Potsticker," "Gyoza," or "Jiaozi" wrappers. Do not buy wonton wrappers or Siu Kow wrappers as they tend to be thinner. You may add some ginger strips to the Dipping Sauce, if you like. For the dipping sauce, you can also buy Mizkan Ajipon Ponzu or store-bought dumplings/gyoza dipping sauce.
