Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 40 pieces Round dumpling wrappers
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water (for cooking the pot stickers)
- to taste Soy sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, grated ginger, minced garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Prepare a small bowl of water to use for sealing the dumpling wrappers.
Place one dumpling wrapper on a flat surface and add about 1 teaspoon of the pork filling to the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger into the water and run it around the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to make a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal, pleating the edges if desired.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling. Place the assembled pot stickers on a baking sheet or a plate lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place a batch of the pot stickers flat side down in the skillet, making sure they don’t touch each other. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and steam the pot stickers for 4-5 minutes, or until the pork filling is cooked through and the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another minute to re-crisp the bottoms.
Repeat with the remaining pot stickers, adding more oil and water as needed for each batch.
Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
