In a large bowl, combine the shredded napa cabbage and salt. Let it sit for a few minutes to draw out moisture.

Add the mince pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, grated ginger, chopped spring onions, ground pepper, and optional seasoning to the bowl. Mix well until combined.

Take a dumpling wrapper and place a small amount of the filling in the center. Fold the wrapper over and seal the edges to form a dumpling.

Repeat the process until all filling is used.

In a separate bowl, prepare the dumpling sauce by mixing hot water, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and roasted sesame seeds.

Serve the dumplings with the dipping sauce.
