Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 4 pieces green onions
- 3 cloves garlic clove
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 12 pieces Napa cabbage leaves
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Set the pork mixture aside to marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the cabbage leaves.
In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the Napa cabbage leaves for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until they turn bright green and become pliable. Transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Pat the cabbage leaves dry with paper towels and lay them flat on a clean surface.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto the bottom half of each cabbage leaf, then fold the top half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Use toothpicks if needed to secure each potsticker.
Dredge the bottom of each potsticker lightly in coconut flour to help with browning.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the potstickers, floured side down, into the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes without moving, until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully pour the water into the skillet and cover immediately. Allow the potstickers to steam for 5-7 minutes.
Remove the lid, letting any remaining water evaporate, and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
Serve hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or soy sauce.
