Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large Green cabbage leaves
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 cup Napa cabbage, finely shredded
- 0.25 cup Carrot, finely grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Dipping sauce (soy sauce or your choice)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the green cabbage leaves in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until softened. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain and cool.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, napa cabbage, carrot, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Lay out a blanched cabbage leaf and place about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll up to form a tight packet. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the wrapped pot stickers seam side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Once browned, reduce the heat to low, carefully add the water to the skillet, and cover immediately to steam. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the pork is fully cooked through.
Remove the lid and cook for another minute to evaporate any remaining water.
Serve the pot stickers warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
