* 1 tbsp soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 tbsp Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

* 3 tbsp sesame oil
* ½ green onion, finely minced
* 1½ cups finely shredded napa cabbage
* 4 tablespoons shredded bamboo shoots
* 2 slices fresh ginger, finely minced
* 1 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
== Directions ==
# Stir the salt into the flour.
# Slowly stir in the cold water, adding as much as is necessary to form a smooth dough.
# Don't add more water than is necessary.
# Knead the dough into a smooth ball.
# Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
# While the dough is resting, prepare the filling ingredients.
# Add the soy sauce, salt, rice wine and white pepper to the meat, stirring in only one direction.
# Add the remaining ingredients, stirring in the same direction, and mix well.
# To make the dumpling dough: knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball.
# Divide the dough into 60 pieces.
# Roll each piece out into a circle about 3-inches in diameter.
# Place a small portion (about 1 level tablespoon) of the filling into the middle of each wrapper.
# Wet the edges of the dumpling with water.
# Fold the dough over the filling into a half moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.
# Continue with the remainder of the dumplings.
# To cook, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
# Add half the dumplings, giving them a gentle stir so they don't stick together.
# Bring the water to a boil, and add ½ cup of cold water.
# Cover and repeat.
# When the dumplings come to a boil for a third time, they are ready.
# Drain and remove.
# If desired, they can be pan-fried at this point.
