Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken, pork, or chopped mushrooms (for vegetarian option)
- 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
- 40 Pot sticker wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil, for frying
- 0.25 cup Water, for steaming
- as desired Dipping sauce (soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, pork, or mushrooms with the green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, and shredded cabbage. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Prepare a clean surface and place a small bowl of water nearby to help seal the pot sticker wrappers.
Take one wrapper and place it in your palm. Add about a teaspoon of filling to the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger into the water and run it along the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, gently pressing the edges together to seal. For a decorative finish, pleat or crimp the edges. Repeat until all the filling is used up.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the pot stickers in the pan, flat side down, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium, carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, and immediately cover with a lid to trap the steam.
Steam the pot stickers for 5-7 minutes or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.
Remove the lid and let the remaining water evaporate. You can cook an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms further, if desired.
Repeat the frying and steaming process with the remaining pot stickers, adding more oil and water as needed.
Serve hot with a dipping sauce of soy sauce, rice vinegar, or chili oil.
