Ingredients:
•Dumpling Dough*
•2 cups all purpose flour
•1 cup boiling water
•Filling:
•8 ounces celery cabbage (Napa cabbage)
•3 tsp salt, divided
•1 pound lean ground pork
•1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, with tops
•1 TB white wine
•1 tsp cornstarch
•1 tsp sesame oil
•Dash white pepper
•Dipping Sauce:
•1/4 cup soy sauce
•1 tsp sesame oil
•Other:
•2 - 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Preparation:
Cut the cabbage across into thin strips. Mix with 2 teaspoons salt and set aside for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mix the celery cabbage, pork, green onions, wine, cornstarch, the remaining 1 teaaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and the white pepper.
In a bowl, mix the flour and 1 cup boiling water until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly flour surface about 5 minutes, or until smooth.
Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a roll 12 inches long and cut each roll into 1/2-inch slices.
Roll 1 slice of dough into a 3-inch circle and place 1 tablespoon pork mixture in the center of the circle. Lift up the edges of the circle and pinch 5 pleats up to create a pouch to encase the mixture. Pinch the top together. Repeat with the remaining slices of dough and filling.
Heat a wok or nonstick skillet until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, tilting the wok to coat the sides. If using a nonstick skillet, add 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil. Place 12 dumplings in a single layer in the wok and fry 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook 6 to 7 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
To make a dipping sauce, in a small bowl, mix the soy sauce with 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Serve with the dumplings.

Ginger sauce makes a nice dipping sauce with appetizers containing shrimp, such as shrimp balls or potstickers. You can also use ginger sauce to brush on shrimp before grilling.
