1

Remove ribs from the napa cabbage leaves and chop the leaves

2

Finely grate the ginger and finely chop the garlic

3

Add pork, 1/3 cup of broth, ginger, garlic, dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl

4

Mix just until all the ingredients are incorporated

5

Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to the remaining chicken broth and set it aside

6

Dip each wonton into a bowl of water before layering it in the ramekin, gently pressing the wontons down as you build the layers

7

Layer a 12-ounce ramekin as follows: 2 wonton wrappers, 1/4 cup of the pork filling, some napa cabbage, 3 wonton wrappers, 1/4 cup of the pork filling, some of the napa cabbage, 2 1/2 tablespoons of broth, 2 wonton wrappers, 2 1/2 tablespoons of broth, and a sprinkle of scallion

8

Repeat to assemble the remaining three ramekins

9

Place the dumplings in a large pot and add enough water to fill the ramekins halfway

10

Cover and steam, starting on high and reducing to medium-low once it comes to a boil, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160°F

11

Cover the ramekins tightly until ready to serve to keep the top layer of wontons tender

Swaps, storing and making ahead

Good to know

Swaps

  • No napa cabbage? Thinly sliced regular cabbage works as a layering substitute.
  • No dark soy sauce? Use regular soy sauce with a small splash of molasses for a similar color and depth.
  • No rice wine vinegar? Substitute an equal amount of white wine vinegar.

Storing it

Store leftovers in their ramekins or an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat covered until steaming hot. Freezing isn't recommended since the wonton layers turn soggy.

Making it ahead

The pork filling can be mixed and the cabbage chopped up to a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge until ready to assemble and steam.
