Authentic home cooking from Taiwan, with US measurements. 
Cabbage Dumplings (No Draining Needed)
Dumplings are a traditional food from northern China. Their shape resembles ancient Chinese gold ingots, making them a symbol of good fortune, especially during the New Year. Basically, they're dough wrappers filled with your choice of ingredients. For these cabbage dumplings, you don't need to drain the cabbage first—the texture will surprise you!
Tips:
1. You can customize the filling to your liking. Onion and shrimp paste are added to balance the flavor of the meat. The onion gives a slight crunch and a bit of sweetness, without a strong onion taste.
2. Be sure to use freshly ground pork, not refrigerated, to avoid excess moisture. Kneading the meat helps break down its structure and brings out its stickiness, so the filling won't be dry.
3. Ginger helps keep the dumplings tasting fresh and not too greasy.
