Savoring Pan-Fried Cabbage and Noodle Buns

Pan-Fried Cabbage and Noodle Buns offer a delightful crunch and savory filling, making them a satisfying choice for casual gatherings or cozy weeknight meals.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of green cabbage about 2 lbs
  • 8 oz wide rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions and set aside.
  • Chop the cabbage into thin strips and sauté it in a large skillet with a drizzle of vegetable oil.
  • Add minced garlic and ground ginger to the cabbage, stirring well to combine.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sautéed cabbage, cooked rice noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, beaten egg, salt, and pepper.
  • Take a dumpling wrapper (or a small circle of dough if making from scratch) and place about a tablespoon of the filling in the center.
  • Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, sealing the edges tightly.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and arrange the filled buns in a single layer.
  • Fry the buns until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the fried buns and drain them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or chili oil.
