A crunchy snack that satisfies your hunger and taste buds, filled with flavorful cabbage and spices, enveloped in a perfectly crisp shell.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups cabbage, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, grated
2 green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
20-25 dumpling wrappers
1/4 cup oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, sliced green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Take one dumpling wrapper and place a small spoonful of the cabbage filling in the center. Be careful not to overfill, as it can lead to tearing.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the dumplings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately to steam the dumplings for 4-5 minutes. This step helps cook the filling thoroughly.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing any excess water to evaporate and the bottoms to become crispy again.
Carefully transfer the dumplings to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dumpling dipping sauce.
