Ground chicken provides a similar texture at a lower cost.

Prepare the filling by finely chopping shrimp, ginger, garlic, green onions, cabbage, and carrots.

Combine the chopped ingredients in a bowl with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.

Mix in cornstarch to bind the filling together.

Place a dumpling wrapper in your palm and spoon a small amount of filling into the center.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it over to seal, pinching the edges together tightly.

Repeat the process until all filling is used.

Prepare a steamer by boiling water in a pot.

Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.

Steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes until cooked through and translucent.

For pan-fried dumplings, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the steamed dumplings to the skillet and fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve the dumplings with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and vinegar.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
