Step by step
Method
Add the pork mince, baking soda, cornflour, salt, sugar, cooking sake, soy sauce and sesame oil to a bowl. Add water and mix everything together until thoroughly combined.
Add the chopped cabbage and spring onions to the pork mixture then your minced garlic, ginger paste and dried coriander and mix through until evenly distributed.
Lightly dampen the edges of a dumpling wrapper with water. Add a small spoonful of the pork filling to the centre, then fold the wrapper over and pleat the edges, pressing firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings flat-side down in the pan and cook until the bottoms are golden and crisp.
Carefully add 1/2 cup water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam until the water has evaporated and the pork filling is completely cooked through, adding another splash of water if needed.
Remove the lid and allow the bottoms of the dumplings to crisp up again. Finish with chilli oil, sesame seeds and chopped spring onions, then serve with soy sauce and enjoy.
Cook's tip ♡
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the dumplings. Give them enough space to sit flat against the base so you get beautifully golden, crispy bottoms before steaming.
