What You’ll Need

For the Filling (Makes ~20 Dumplings):

• 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
• ½ cup grated carrot
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
• 200g ground chicken (or tofu for a vegetarian option)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp I AM HOT HONEY
• A pinch of white pepper
• Dumpling wrappers (store-bought or homemade)

For the Dipping Sauce:

• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp I AM HOT HONEY
• (Optional: Chopped chives or coriander for garnish)

How to Make Them

1. Prepare Your Filling

In a large bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, garlic, ginger, and ground chicken (or tofu). Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and I AM HOT HONEY. Mix everything together thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated. The hot honey not only infuses the mixture with a subtle heat but also adds an unmistakable sweet depth that makes these dumplings uniquely delicious.

2. Fill Your Dumplings

Lay out a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Place about one teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold and pleat the dough to seal in the filling. Repeat for all the wrappers.

3. Pan-Fry and Steam to Perfection

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer, flat side down, and let them crisp for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown. Add about ¼ cup of water to the pan and cover immediately. Allow the dumplings to steam for 5 minutes; this dual method ensures you get a crisp exterior with a soft, juicy interior.

4. Whip Up Your Dipping Sauce

While your dumplings are cooking, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and I AM HOT HONEY in a small bowl. Give it a quick stir and sprinkle with chopped chives or coriander if desired.

5. Enjoy!

Transfer your dumplings to a serving plate, and serve them hot with the dipping sauce on the side. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a little more I AM HOT HONEY over the finished dumplings.
