Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine pork, zucchini, carrot, cabbage, eggs, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, mirin, and sugar; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Step 2
To assemble the dumplings, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add dumplings in a single layer and cook until bottoms begin to brown, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add 1/2 cup water, cover and cook for 3 minutes; uncover and cook until the liquid has evaporated completely and the bottoms are crisp and golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining dumplings, adding more vegetable oil as needed.
Step 5
Serve immediately.

Chef's notes
*The filling in the dumplings does not have to be cooked prior to wrapping.
*To freeze, place uncooked dumplings in a single layer on a baking sheet overnight. Transfer to freezer bags.
