Serves/Makes: 60 pcs | Ready In: 1-2 hrs
***Jiaozi Dough***
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup ice cold water (as needed)
***Filling***
1 cup ground pork or beef
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or to taste
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 green onion, finely minced
1 1/2 cup finely shredded napa cabbage
4 tablespoons shredded bamboo shoots
2 slices fresh ginger, finely minced
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
Place the flour in a large bowl. Stir in the salt. Slowly add the water while stirring, adding just enough to create a smooth dough.
Knead the dough into a smooth ball. Cover the dough and let it rest, undisturbed, for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the pork or beef in another bowl. Add the soy sauce, salt, rice wine, and white pepper and mix until combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Add the sesame oil, green onion, shredded cabbage, bamboo shoots, ginger, and garlic. Mix until just combined, again making sure to not overwork the meat.
Divide the dough into 60 pieces. Roll each piece out to form a 3-inch circle. Add 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture to the center of each dough circle. Wet the edges of the dough. Fold the dough in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges of the dough to seal in the filling. Place the filled dumplings on a lightly floured tray or plate.
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to a strong simmer. Add the dumplings in batches so they don't crowd each other. Cover the pan and cook until the dumplings are done. They will float and become translucent. Remove the jiaozi from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
Serve the dumplings immediately or place in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat and brown on both sides.
