Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped napa cabbage, scallions, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

2. 2

   Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pleating one edge to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange dumplings in a single layer, ensuring they don't touch. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

4. 4

   Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet (it will steam). Immediately cover with a lid and reduce heat to medium. Steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and the wrappers are tender.

5. 5

   Remove the lid and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate and re-crisp the bottoms.

6. 6

   Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
