Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 cup Napa cabbage, finely shredded
• 0.25 cup Carrot, grated
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 cups Water for boiling

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add warm water while stirring with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.

Step 2

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cabbage, carrot, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Once the dough has rested, divide it into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a log about 1-inch in diameter. Cut each log into 8-10 pieces for a total of about 36-40 pieces of dough.

Step 5

Using a rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a 3-inch circle, keeping the center slightly thicker than the edges.

Step 6

Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Step 7

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Gently add dumplings to the boiling water, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the dumplings float to the surface and the filling is cooked through.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings from the pot and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 9

Serve the dumplings hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
