Reading through the comments they are generally positive. To those who criticize, feel free to create your own content. Secondly, like the US China is huge. Dishes change regionally and with family tweeks. Proof? Look at American BBQ. It is as diverse across the county as a tradition can be. Doesn't mean it's wrong or bad. Perhaps just different from where you are and how you grew up. I'm in the process of making this right now. No Napa cabbage available as we are in small town Texas. So, regular cabbage it is. I'm sure it will be great.

It's usually made using chopsticks stirring in one direction for quite a while (like 5mins or so!) to achieve the desired texture. I did it that way several months ago and it turned out great!

It’s VERY light alcohol, even dipping things in it you won’t taste much. Its flavor profile has a lot floral scent to it. Chinese use this to just suppress the meat raw taste. An alternative we sometimes use is ginger-scallion water (soak ginger scallion-white & a bit star anise in water), it’s usually to assist the Shao Xing wine, so maybe here just try to make it more concentrated!

No garlic in the dumpling mix? no breadcrumbs, 5 spice and water chestnuts i understand as they are optional depending on who's family makes it, but no garlic! never had these or made them without garlic. Is it a regional variation? i learned to make them while living in Hong Kong pre handover. i also add some starch to my mix ethier potato flour or cornflour to capture juices and for texture mouth feel. If you buy mince try and get coarse ground single pass it gives a better texture, I cheat and use a food processor to coarse chop semi frozen chunks of pork shoulder and belly pork to get the texture and fat ratio we like. Never braised the meatballs before normally fry in lard / steam them, i'll give it a try, don't knock it till you have tried it. Anyway thanks for the recipe, take care. God bless one and all.
