Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 large head green cabbage
- 3 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the green onions and ginger. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Remove the core from the cabbage and carefully peel off 12 large leaves. Blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides in and then roll up the leaf to enclose the filling completely.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, arrange half of the cabbage rolls seam side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they are lightly browned on the bottom.
Add 1/8 cup water to the skillet and cover immediately. Allow them to steam for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the pork is cooked through. Remove the lid and cook for another minute to let the excess water evaporate.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining cabbage rolls using the second tablespoon of olive oil and remaining water.
Remove pot stickers from the pan and serve hot with additional soy sauce or dipping sauce of your choice.
