Pour the recently prepared sauce mixture onto the pork mixture and stir them without heating the skillet. Make sure that they are mixed well.
Add Chopped Ingredients to Sauce and Pork Mixture
Now add chopped carrot, cabbage, and chopped onion into the sauce and pork mixture. Stir the mixture well so that the whole ingredients combine well.
Cook the Mixture
Cook the whole mixture on normal heat until all the ingredients are melted and mixed well. It will take about 5 minutes to mix thoroughly. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest to get cool.
Stuff the Filling Mixture into Wrappers
Keep all the wrappers under a wet towel and take one by one out of it. Place a wrapper in front of you in such a way that one corner is pointing towards you. With the help of a spoon, fill the recently prepared mixture in it. Place the mixture in the center and don’t stuff too much mixture.
