This is a standard filling used throughout northern China. Dried shrimp (available at Chinese food stores) add depth to the relatively bland pork–and–napa cabbage mix. If you wish, add up to 2 cups (500 mL) finely chopped Chinese or garlic chives. Others might like to add a handful of finely chopped fresh coriander.
