• 21 ounces leeks
• 1/4 cup chopped cabbage
• 5 ounces lean ground pork
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 teaspoon salt

3. Make a thick paste by mixing flour, salt, and some water.
4. Put about 1 tablespoon of the flour batter in a large ladle. Put 3 tablespoons of filling on top and then put a layer of flour paste on top to cover the filling.
