all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: rice flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Mix all-purpose flour and water in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

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

In a separate bowl, combine ground pork, chopped green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.

Finely chop cabbage and carrot, then mix into the pork filling.

Roll the rested dough into a log and cut into small pieces.

Flatten each piece into a circle using a rolling pin.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the dumplings.

Boil the dumplings for about 5-7 minutes until they float to the top.

For pan-fried dumplings, heat oil in a skillet and add boiled dumplings.

Fry until golden brown on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes.

Serve with dipping sauce made from soy sauce and vinegar.
