Pan-fried dumplings are a savory dish made with a filling of ground pork, garlic, scallion, and cabbage, seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. The filling is wrapped in a thin dough and then pan-fried until crispy and golden brown on the outside, while remaining juicy and flavorful on the inside. The texture is both crispy and tender.

Pan-fried dumplings with savory pork filling pair well with a crisp, high-acid white wine like Chardonnay to cut through the richness. The wine's citrus and apple notes complement the garlic, ginger, and soy sauce flavors. Alternatively, a light-bodied, fruity red like Barbera with its high acidity and low tannins can balance the greasiness of the fried dumplings while enhancing the overall taste experience.
