Method

  1. Squeeze the salted cabbage dry. Mix it with the pork, spring onions, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil.
  2. Put a teaspoon of filling on each wrapper, wet the edge and fold into a half-moon, pressing out the air.
  3. Fry flat side down in a little oil until golden, about two minutes.
  4. Add 80 ml water, cover and steam for six minutes. Uncover and cook until the bottoms crisp again.
Note. Freeze the extras on a tray before bagging them. Cook from frozen with an extra two minutes of steaming.
