Ingredients:

Dumplings

  • 1 cup cooked Irish bacon, finely chopped
  • 1 cup finely shredded cabbage
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 24 dumpling wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for pan-frying)

Dipping sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

Arrange the filled dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, leaving space between each dumpling. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 4-5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the filling is cooked through.
  6. While the dumplings are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Irish stout in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
