Ground Pork Filling with Napa Cabbage and Shrimp (菜肉馅)
菜肉馅 ( Cai Rou Xian) Ground pork is a typical ingredient for fillings used in Chinese buns , wonton and dumplings , it is great for making meatballs as well. I love to add a small portion of vegetable and shrimp to make the filling tender, add more flavor and texture. I usually use ground pork and vegetable with 1:1 ratio, in this recipe, I reduce the vegetable to 1/4 lb., and increase the corn starch to 4 tablespoon, and add 2 tablespoon all purpose flour, this combination makes the filling very resilient and tender as well. This is perfect to make meatballs and pork bun filling. For more fun cooking ideas, see Recipes by Category . Ingredients 1 lb. Ground pork 1/4 lb. Napa cabbage 1/4 lb.
