Servings: persons

500 g extra lean ground pork
1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated
1 cup shiitake mushroom, finely chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch

cabbage leaf, for steaming

1
Mix together pork, green onions, cilantro, ginger, mushrooms, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch and egg white in a large bowl until well combined.
2
Working with 6 wrappers at a time, use fingertip to wet edges of each wrapper with water.
3
Top each wrapper with 2 teaspoons pork mixture.
4
Bring the 4 corners up towards the top of the filling, pleat the sides of the wrapper to form a cup, and press the wrapper snugly around the filling. The dumpling does not need to be fully enclosed at the top.
5
Keep the dumplings covered with dampened tea towel while working.
6
Place a bamboo steamer in a large pot and add enough water to come just below the base of the bottom steamer.
7
Line each basket with a single layer of cabbage leaves to prevent the dumplings from sticking; important, do not omit or you will be eating of the steamer :).
8
Place a single layer of dumplings on top of leaves.
9
Cover and simmer for 8 minutes or until pork is cooked through; do not overcook.
10
Serve warm with Recipe #397489 or other dip.
