Step 2

Transfer cabbage and cilantro to a bowl. Add pork, egg whites, jalapeno peppers, ginger, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly with your hands. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3

Cover 2 baking sheets with waxed paper. Fill a small bowl with water.
Step 4

Hold a potsticker wrapper in the palm of your hand. Place a tablespoonful of the pork mixture in the center. Dip a finger in water and use it to wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold up edges and pinch together to seal. Transfer dumpling to a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers and pork mixture.
Step 5

Freeze dumplings until firm, about 2 hours. Transfer to large resealable plastic bags.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute 2 leeks for the napa cabbages if desired. I've also made these with 1 head of napa cabbage, 1 head of bok choy, and 1 bunch of scallions. It's a great combo, too.

Tips

If you have any dumplings that did not seal completely or that have broken skin, do not freeze them, they'll fall apart later. Just cook those for dinner tonight instead.

Tips

To cook frozen dumplings, boil for about 5 minutes before pan-frying in a greased skillet over medium heat until browned on all sides. If the dumplings have not been frozen, skip the boiling step.
