Directions

Chop vegetables

Chop the cabbage, carrot and green onions together until they are finely diced. If they are too big and chunky, you might have a problem with the meat sticking to the wrapper.

Combine filling ingredients

In bowl combine all filling ingredients (1/2 pound (227g) ground pork, 1 cup (240ml) cabbage, 1/4 cup (60ml) shredded carrot, 2 minced green onions, 2 teaspoons (10ml) soy sauce, 1 teaspoon (5ml) sesame oil, 1 teaspoon (5ml) garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) black pepper).

Spread filling over wrapper

On each dumpling wrapper, place about 1-2 Tablespoons (15-30ml) of filling in center. Spread filling over each wrapper all the way to the edges.

Heat pan

Heat large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add light layer of oil.

Place meat side down

Lay meat filled wrapper meat-side down on skillet.

Smash

Press down firmly to smash the filling flat. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until meat is cooked and crisp. Make sure to press down firmly so the meat sticks to the wrapper.

Lightly oil

Lightly spray or sprinkle oil over the top of wrappers.

Flip and cook

Then flip the smash dumplings and cook wrapper side down to crisp the wrapper, about 1 minute.

Serve

Remove from heat and allow to cool. Serve with your favorite dip or sauce.
