1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch

2. Add the garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and egg white, then mix until the filling looks well combined and slightly sticky.
3. Lay the dumpling wrappers on a clean surface and keep the extra wrappers covered with a lightly damp towel.
4. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
5. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrappers over the filling, and press firmly to seal. Pleat the edges if desired.
6. Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly oiled cabbage leaves and arrange the dumplings in a single layer.

8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Do not overfill the wrappers or they may open while steaming.
Keep unused wrappers covered so they stay soft and easy to fold.
If freezing, place uncooked dumplings on a tray first, freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag.
