Prepare the dough by mixing wheat flour and water until smooth; knead for 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

In a bowl, combine ground pork, chopped cabbage, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper; mix well.

Finely chop green onions, carrots, and mushrooms; add to the meat mixture.

Press the dough into small circles; fill each with a spoonful of the meat mixture.

Fold the dough over to create half-moons; pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Optionally, brush the tops with beaten egg for a shiny finish.

Prepare a steamer and line it with parchment paper; arrange the dumplings in a single layer.

Steam the dumplings for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

For pan-fried version, heat oil in a skillet; cook dumplings until golden brown on both sides.

Serve hot with dipping sauce made from soy sauce and vinegar.
