Assemble the Dumplings: Take one wonton skin at a time and place about 1 heaping teaspoon of the pork and cabbage mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wonton skin with a small amount of water using your finger or a brush. Fold the edges over the filling to form a triangle shape. Gently press the edges together to seal the dumpling, making sure there are no air bubbles inside.
-
Arrange the Dumplings: Place the assembled dumplings on a lightly floured surface to prevent them from sticking together. Keep them covered to avoid drying out while you prepare to cook them.
-
Cook the Dumplings: Prepare a steamer basket by lining it with parchment paper or lightly oiling it to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer inside the steamer, ensuring they are not touching each other to allow for proper steaming. Steam the dumplings over boiling water for 15-20 minutes. The dumplings should be cooked through and the filling should be hot and steaming.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the dumplings immediately after steaming. They are delicious on their own or paired with a sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
