Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 12 Green cabbage leaves
- 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch cabbage leaves for about 2 minutes until they are slightly softened. Transfer the leaves to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Lay a cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of the leaf. Fold the leaf over the filling, tucking in the sides to create a neat wrap. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the potstickers in the skillet, seam-side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add water to the skillet and cover with a lid immediately. Allow the potstickers to steam for about 5-6 minutes until the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
Transfer the potstickers to a serving plate. Serve warm with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
