Take a wonton wrapper and brush the edges with egg wash made from 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water.

Prepare the filling mixture by stirring together ground pork, scallion, ginger, garlic, cabbage, carrot, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil.

Place a small amount of the filling mixture in the center of the wonton wrapper.

Fold the wrapper over the filling and seal the edges with more egg wash.

Arrange the sealed dumplings on a plate covered with damp paper towels to keep them fresh.

Heat a non-stick pan and cover the bottom with oil until it shimmers.

Add the dumplings to the pan and brown them on both sides, adjusting the heat to medium (around 350-375°F).

Once browned, pour a little water into the pan to steam the dumplings and cover them.

Let the dumplings steam for 2.5 to 3 minutes until most of the water has evaporated.

Uncover the pan and serve the dumplings with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce, sesame oil, veggies, chili oil, and vinegar.
