Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 3 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 cup Napa cabbage, finely shredded
- 0.5 cup Carrots, finely shredded
- 36 pieces Potsticker wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, minced garlic, fresh ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the finely shredded Napa cabbage and carrots to the pork mixture and mix until evenly combined.
On a clean work surface, lay out one potsticker wrapper. Place about a tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper over to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
Optionally, create pleats along the sealed edge for a traditional potsticker look. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Place potstickers in the skillet in a single layer, flat side down, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately to trap steam. Reduce heat to medium and let the potstickers steam for 4-5 minutes or until the water has mostly evaporated.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again.
Using a spatula, carefully transfer the cooked potstickers to a serving plate. Repeat the cooking process for the remaining potstickers.
Serve potstickers hot with your choice of low-sodium dipping sauce.
