# How to Make It:
01 - Combine ground pork, spring onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, sugar, white pepper, napa cabbage, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes well combined and slightly sticky in texture.
02 - Place a dumpling wrapper in your palm. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of the wrapper. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges firmly to seal, creating pleats if desired.
03 - Repeat the assembly process with all remaining wrappers and filling. Cover the completed dumplings with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out during the air frying process.
04 - Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes to ensure optimal cooking conditions for the dumplings.
05 - Lightly spray or brush each dumpling with cooking oil. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap and have adequate space for air circulation.
06 - Air fry the dumplings for 8 to 10 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking process, until they achieve a golden and crispy exterior.
07 - While the dumplings are cooking, combine chili oil, soy sauce, black vinegar, toasted sesame seeds, and spring onion in a small bowl. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
08 - Transfer the hot dumplings to a serving plate and present the chili oil dipping sauce in a small bowl on the side.
