Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, grated ginger, cilantro, one sliced scallion, soy sauce, sesame oil, and the lightly beaten egg; mix until well combined.
Boil salted water in a large pot and cook cabbage leaves for about 1 minute until tender. Drain on paper towels.
Cut each cabbage leaf in half lengthwise and remove the core. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling at one end of each leaf and roll tightly.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook dumplings seam side down until golden brown (about 2 minutes).
Add water to the skillet and cover to steam the dumplings until cooked through (approximately 10 minutes).
