Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 3 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 cup Napa cabbage, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 50 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, and napa cabbage. Mix thoroughly.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to the pork mixture. Use your hands to combine everything well, making sure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Prepare a clean surface to assemble the pot stickers. Place a wonton wrapper on the surface and scoop about 1 teaspoon of the pork filling into the center.
Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
Press the edges together to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Pleat the edges if desired for a decorative touch.
Repeat the process with remaining wrappers and filling until all the pot stickers are assembled.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Carefully arrange the pot stickers in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they do not touch. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Once browned, carefully pour 1/2 cup of water into the skillet. Cover immediately to trap steam.
Lower the heat to medium and steam the pot stickers for 8-10 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high again to evaporate any leftover water and crisp up the bottoms.
Serve immediately with low sodium soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
