Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken or pork
- 2 cups finely shredded cabbage
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 24–30 dumpling wrappers (3–4 inches each)
- Neutral oil for brushing
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/4–1/2 cup warm water (to thin)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground meat, cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and cornstarch.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into each dumpling wrapper, wet the edge with water, and fold to seal.
- Arrange the dumplings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Brush the tops with a light coating of neutral oil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 14–18 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- For the peanut sauce, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar or lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, and warm water until smooth. Adjust the consistency to taste.
Notes
For a crispier texture, use a convection oven and space dumplings 1/2 inch apart. Cold filling helps maintain dumpling shape.
