Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup sliced scallions
¼ cup Shaoxing rice wine (see Tip)
¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons mushroom dark soy sauce (see Tip)
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups finely chopped napa cabbage
80 round dumpling wrappers
7 tablespoons canola oil, divided
3 ½ cups warm water, divided

Directions

Combine pork, egg, scallions, rice wine, reduced-sodium soy sauce, mushroom dark soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch, white pepper and salt in a large bowl until well blended. Fold in cabbage. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Set out dumpling wrappers and a small bowl of water; line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper and dust with cornstarch. Place 6 wrappers on a clean work surface and spoon about 2 teaspoons filling into the center of each. Wet your finger and run it around the edge of a wrapper. Fold the wrapper over to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. Pleat the edges if desired. Arrange the dumplings on a prepared baking sheet without letting them touch. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 dumplings (fresh or frozen) in a single layer not touching. Add 1/2 cup warm water to the pan. Cover and cook until starting to brown on the bottom, 6 to 8 minutes. Uncover and cook until all of the liquid is evaporated, about 30 seconds more. Repeat with the remaining oil, water and dumplings.

Tips

Tips: Shaoxing is a seasoned rice wine used for cooking. Dry sherry can be used in its place.

Mushroom dark soy sauce contains straw mushroom extract. It packs a punch of pungent, umami flavor.

To make ahead: Freeze uncooked dumplings (Steps 1-2), uncovered, on the parchment-lined baking sheet until solid, at least 8 hours. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
