# Directions:
01 - In a mixing bowl, combine ground protein, shredded cabbage, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - Place one dumpling wrapper in your palm. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.

07 - While dumplings cook, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, sliced green onion, and red chili flakes in a small bowl. Stir until blended.
08 - Transfer hot dumplings to a serving plate. Serve immediately with soy ginger dipping sauce on the side.
