Steamed Crab Dumplings

2 cups finely chopped cabbage
Kosher salt
16 ounces Signature Catch® Frozen Special thawed
4 ounces mushrooms, chopped
½ tablespoon finely minced garlic
½ tablespoon finely minced ginger
1 tablespoon mirin
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon fish sauce (more, if needed)
½ teaspoon black pepper
50 thin dumpling wrappers
Chopped scallions and sesame seeds for garnish

Place the cabbage in a colander and sprinkle it with ½ teaspoon of salt. Allow it to sit over a bowl for 20 minutes.
Wrap the cabbage in a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out and discard the excess liquid. Transfer the drained cabbage to a clean bowl.
Add crab, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, mirin, sesame oil, ½ teaspoon salt, fish sauce, and pepper to the bowl with the cabbage. Taste and add more fish sauce if desired.
To assemble the dumplings, take a dumpling wrapper and place it on a flat surface. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water using your finger.
Put approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the dumpling skin.
Fold the dumpling in half and pinch the center together. Create 4-5 pleats on the right side of the dumpling, starting from the center. Repeat on the left side, ensuring that all pleats point towards the center.
Moisten one corner of the dumpling and fold/coil the other end together. Pinch and seal to create an enclosed pouch.
Place the assembled dumpling on a baking sheet and continue with the remaining filling and wrappers until all are used.
To cook the dumplings, line a steamer with cabbage leaves or parchment paper and arrange the dumplings inside. Steam for 7-8 minutes.
Transfer the steamed dumplings to a platter and garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds on top.
