    FOR THE FILLING:

    Oil for cooking 1 tablespoon ginger (minced) 1 large onion (chopped) 2 cups shiitake mushrooms (chopped) 1 1/2 cups cabbage (finely shredded) 1 1/2 cups carrot (finely shredded) 1 cup garlic chives (Chinese chives, finely chopped) 1/2 cup green onion

    FOR THE MARINADE:

    1/4 teaspoon white pepper 2 teaspoons sesame oil 1.5 teaspoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry) 1.5 teaspoons Jiu 2 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon mirin or a touch of sugar/white vinegar salt (to taste)

    I use a great app called Paprika and bulk up these ingredients to a bigger ratio.

    The filling is all cooked in batches in a wok beforehand, seasoned slightly as I go with salt, but cooking the veg off lends that distinct flavor.

    (sorry about the bad editing)

      If you’re not already doing it, you can make it a lot easier to get excess moisture out of the filling by salting the cabbage and squeezing it. I follow the method explained here and it works well.
