Thinly slice the white part and leaves of the napa cabbage, sprinkle with 1.5 teaspoons of salt, mix well, and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then, thoroughly squeeze out the excess moisture from the cabbage.
In a bowl, combine 400g of ground pork, one cracked egg, 2 teaspoons of grated ginger, 1/4 cup chopped scallions, 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 2.5 tablespoons homemade garlic chili sauce, and the well-drained cabbage.
Taste the mixture and adjust the salt if necessary. Stir and toss the filling repeatedly in the bowl until it reaches the desired texture.
Place a portion of the filling onto half of each dumpling wrapper, fold it over, and press the edges firmly to seal the dumplings securely.
Prepare a spice blend by toasting over medium heat 5 dried chilies, a cinnamon stick piece, a bay leaf, star anise, half a cardamom pod, cloves, and white pepper until fragrant. Grind the toasted spices into a powder.
Mix together 500g of ground beef, 2 teaspoons grated garlic, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, the prepared spice powder, one egg, and 1/3 cup beef broth or water. Stir continuously until the liquid is fully absorbed and the mixture develops the right texture.
Add 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1/3 cup scallions, 1/3 cup chopped cilantro, and a small amount of hot oil to release the aromas. Mix thoroughly.
Spoon a generous amount of this filling onto larger dumpling wrappers, fold, and press the edges tightly to form dumplings with a thick shape.
Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in water for 4 hours or overnight. Drain and squeeze out the water, then thinly slice the mushrooms and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of the mushroom soaking water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and one egg. Stir everything well to combine.
