Instructions

Use a large nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid.
Place the cabbage on a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with half the salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture.
Combine the remaining filling ingredients, including the cabbage, in a large bowl.
Take 1-2 dumpling wrappers at a time to fill. Keep the rest covered to prevent drying.
Place just under 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold in half without sealing.
Pleat the front and press to seal, curving it into a crescent shape.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet and add half of the dumplings flat-side down. Cook over medium heat until golden and crisp.
Add the water (or broth) and cover immediately to steam. Set a timer for 8 minutes.
Remove the cover and reduce heat to low for 1-2 more minutes to let the remaining moisture cook off. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the second half of the dumplings.
Garnish with chili crisp, chives, and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Ensure wrappers stay covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from cracking.
You can adjust the seasonings according to your taste.
This recipe can be easily doubled for gatherings.
