Also to the meat add 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1teaspoon fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder or crushed pepper, pinch of salt, 1 egg and 2 tablespoon cornflour. Mix the meat
Heat 2 tablespoon of sesame oil on a flat pan. Add the rest of chopped ginger, garlic, chillies and white part of chopped spring onion to the oil once it’s hot. Fry for half a minute to let the oil infuse the flavours, then add the chopped onion and chopped white cabbage
Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, pinch of black pepper. Stir fry the onion and cabbage for about 2-3 minutes till they are half cooked and a bit soft. Turn off heat and let it rest
Once it’s not so hot (warm is fine), add it to the meat and mix everything together in circular motion. Also add rest of the spring onions
Fold the stuffing into dumpling wrappers
For pot stickers, add a little oil to the pan and sit the dumplings upright on medium heat until the bottom is light brown. Then add a little bit of water and cover and cook for 7 minutes
For steamed, cook the dumplings for about 10mins in a steamer
