- In another bowl, add ground pork, drained cabbage, garlic, ginger, green onion, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, white pepper, and egg. Mix well until it forms a sticky paste.
- Roll each dumpling wrapper a few times, this will create more surface area so it can hold more filling. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of the wrapper. Bundle the wrapper over filling and squeeze tight to seal.
