Garlic Chili Oil With Dumplings

Garlic Chili Oil
2 In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of vegetable oil over low to medium heat.
3 Add the finely minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes to the oil, adjusting the amount to suit your preferred spiciness.
4 Gently heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 1-2 minutes. Be cautious not to burn the garlic or chili flakes.
5 Once the garlic turns golden and releases an inviting aroma, remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the oil to cool slightly.
Dumplings
7 In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, finely chopped cabbage, green onions, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
8 Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center.
9 Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it over to create a half-moon shape. Press and seal the edges firmly.
10 You can use pleating techniques, folding methods like "Pleated Crescent" or "Triangle," or simply sealing the edges for different dumpling shapes.
11 Steam or pan-fry the dumplings until cooked and golden brown.
