- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 green onions finely chopped

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, green onions, and cabbage.

- Place a dumpling wrapper on a flat surface and spoon 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center.
- Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.

- Transfer dumplings to a steamer or pot with steaming rack and steam for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
Ensure the dumpling wrappers are properly sealed to prevent them from opening during cooking. You can use different folding techniques for your dumplings, such as pleating, to enhance their presentation. Adjust the seasoning to taste, and add chili oil for a spicy kick. If you want to prepare ahead of time, you can freeze uncooked dumplings on a baking sheet before transferring them to a plastic bag for storage.
