Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 3 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 12 pieces Napa cabbage leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Trim the thick stems from the Napa cabbage leaves, taking care not to tear the leaves.
Bring a pot of water to boil. Blanch the cabbage leaves for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just enough until they become pliable. Remove and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Pat the leaves dry using paper towels.
Place a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of the leaf. Fold over the sides, then roll up into a tight cylinder, securing the edges with a toothpick if needed. Repeat with remaining filling and cabbage leaves.
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cabbage-wrapped potstickers and cook until they are golden brown on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and cover it with a lid. Allow the potstickers to steam for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Remove the potstickers from the pan and serve hot. Optionally, serve with additional coconut aminos for dipping.
