These pan-fried cabbage and noodle buns are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, filled with a savory mixture of seasoned cabbage, noodles, and aromatic spices. A fun, flavorful twist on dumplings or noodle dishes.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12–16 buns (serves 2–4)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup cooked noodles (e.g., thin egg noodles or ramen)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced (fresh or ground)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 egg, beaten (for binding and sealing)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1216 wonton wrappers or gyoza skins
  • Optional: sesame seeds, chili flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a bit of oil in a skillet and sauté cabbage with garlic and ginger until softened.
  2. Add cooked noodles, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir and let cool slightly.
  3. Place spoonfuls of filling on wrappers. Brush edges with beaten egg, fold, and pinch to seal tightly.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place buns seam-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden.
  5. Add 2 tbsp water, cover, and steam for 4–5 minutes until wrappers are tender and filling is hot. Uncover and crisp for another minute.
  6. Transfer to a plate and garnish with sesame seeds or chili flakes. Serve warm with soy sauce or chili-garlic dip.

Notes

  • Use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free variation.
  • Add ground meat or tofu for protein boost.
  • Mix in shredded carrots or mushrooms for more flavor.
  • Add rice vinegar or lime juice for brightness.
  • Bake instead of fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
