Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 pound Shrimp, peeled, deveined, and finely chopped
- 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 50 pieces Round dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 cup Dipping sauce (soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, optional chili oil)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, shrimp, shredded cabbage, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper. Mix well until the filling is evenly combined.
Prepare your work station with a small bowl of water for sealing the wrappers and a flat surface for assembly.
Place a dumpling wrapper in the palm of your hand. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press and pleat the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the dumplings in the skillet, seam-side up, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden and crispy.
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and steam for 5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again.
Transfer the finished pot stickers to a serving plate and repeat the cooking process with the remaining dumplings, using the remaining oil and water.
Serve hot with the prepared dipping sauce.
