Start with the filling. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add minced ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Stir in the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent.
3
Add the chopped shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, until all the liquid released by the mushrooms has been cooked off.
4
Mix in the finely shredded cabbage and carrots, and continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes until the veggies are tender and all the liquid has evaporated.
5
Once done, transfer the vegetable mixture to a large mixing bowl, letting it cool down to room temperature.
6
After cooling, add chopped chives, white pepper, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and sugar to the bowl. Mix well until the filling is well integrated.

Now, Let's assemble the dumplings. Lay a dumpling wrapper out on a flat surface, spoon a small amount of filling into the center. Fold the wrapper over the filling, pinch edges together to seal and pleat as desired.

Continue this process until all the filling is used.
