Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 pound ground pork

  • 4 cloves minced garlic

  • ½ cup finely chopped green onions

  • 3 tablespoons very finely minced fresh ginger

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • 1 ½ cups finely chopped green cabbage


Directions

  1. Place ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Top with chopped green cabbage. Mix with fork until thoroughly combined. Tamp down lightly; cover with plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour.

  2. Place 2 1/2 cups of flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in hot water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a shaggy dough. Flour your hands and transfer dough to a work surface. Knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 3 to 5 minutes. If dough seems too sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour, up to an additional 1/2 cup, and continue to knead. Wrap dough ball in plastic, and let it rest about 30 minutes.

Chef's Note:

Optional: You can spike dipping sauce with things like hot sauce, garlic, minced green onions, ginger, etc.
