Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 250°.
Step 2
In a wok, cook cabbage, leek, black pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper and 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil over medium high heat until cabbage is wilted. Transfer mixture to a food processor and add cilantro, pork loin and 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce. Pulse until all ingredients are mixed together completely (coarsely pureed).
Step 3
Spoon mixture into wonton wrappers. Wet fingertips and pinch wontons into pockets. In a steamer, steam the dumplings for about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, lightly coat a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add a small amount of water and cook dumplings for 1 minute on each side or, until dumplings becomes transparent.)
Step 4
Lightly coat a baking pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until desired crispness.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the honey and scallions. Serve dumplings with dipping sauce. Serve the dumplings with the soy sauce mixture.
