Jiaozi

Jiaozi, also known as Chinese dumplings, are a popular dish made with a flavorful filling wrapped in a thin dough and then steamed or pan-fried.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, shrimp, napa cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, then pinch the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
To steam the jiaozi, place them in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Steam for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
To pan-fry the jiaozi, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the jiaozi in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add water to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the jiaozi are cooked through and the water has evaporated.
Serve the jiaozi hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
