  • Servings: 6
  • Serving Size: 3 dumplings, 1 Tbsp sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 leek, chopped
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup pulled pork loin
  • 4 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 18 small wonton wrappers
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 scallions, minced

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 250°.
  2. In a wok, cook cabbage, leek, black pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper and 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil over medium high heat until cabbage is wilted. Transfer mixture to a food processor and add cilantro, pork loin and 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce. Pulse until all ingredients are mixed together completely (coarsely pureed).

Add a small amount of water and cook dumplings for 1 minute on each side or, until dumplings becomes transparent.)
  4. Lightly coat a baking pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until desired crispness.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the honey and scallions. Serve dumplings with dipping sauce. Serve the dumplings with the soy sauce mixture.
