Ingredients
  

1 pound ground pork (or chicken)

1 cup finely chopped green onions

1 cup shredded napa cabbage

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon chili oil (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1 pack of dumpling wrappers (round or square)

6 cups chicken broth

2 cups water

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Sliced red chili, for garnish

Soy sauce, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare Dumpling Filling: In a large bowl, combine ground pork, 1/2 cup green onions, napa cabbage, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

    Form Dumplings: Lay a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper over to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

      Make the Soup Base: In a large pot, combine chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the remaining green onions and reduce heat to a simmer.

        Cook Dumplings: Carefully add the prepared dumplings to the boiling broth. Allow them to cook for about 6-8 minutes or until they float to the top and are cooked through.

          Adjust Flavor: Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or chili oil, if desired.

            Serve: Ladle the soup and dumplings into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced red chili. Serve hot with a side of soy sauce for dipping.
