Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 12 large Green cabbage leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cabbage leaves. Carefully peel away 12 large outer leaves from the cabbage. Blanch these leaves by placing them in boiling water for about 2 minutes until soft, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry the leaves using a paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, chopped green onions, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well-incorporated.
Place a large cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto the center of the leaf.
Fold the cabbage leaf over the filling to create a small parcel, tucking in the sides as you roll. Continue with the remaining leaves and filling.
Heat the coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potstickers to the pan, seam side down, in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium and steam the potstickers for 5-7 minutes or until the filling is fully cooked.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the bottoms to crisp up again.
Serve the potstickers warm with additional coconut aminos or your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
