Prepare a fragrant paste by finely crushing or grating white peppercorns, garlic, and ginger.
Separate the napa cabbage into stalks and leaves. Dice the stalks into small cubes, and slice the leaves into thin strips, then cut crosswise to make them even finer.
Slice the garlic chives (nira) thinly, discarding the root ends.
Over medium-low heat, toast the garlic-ginger paste in a pan to release its aroma and flavor.
Add the chopped napa cabbage stalks, season with salt, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add the cabbage leaves and garlic chives, stir-fry for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let the vegetables cool and dry.
Use ground pork with a higher fat content to ensure a juicy filling.
Mix the pork with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, a bit of sugar, tapioca starch, and Japanese dashi powder (Hondashi) to enhance umami flavor.
Knead the meat mixture thoroughly by hand or with a glove for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and sticky.
Fold the cooled vegetable mixture into the meat and mix well, but avoid overkneading.
