1/4 small head Chinese cabbage, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup minced pork
2 scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 and 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 and 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 Tablespoon rice wine
1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
20 round dumpling skins

Preparation:
1. Place cabbage mixed with the salt in a colander and let rest for half an hour, then squeeze out any water.
2. In a large bowl, mix cabbage with pork, scallions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, and ginger.
