Recipe

Prep: 30 min Cook: 15 min Total: 45 min 2-3 servings

Ingredients

1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup napa cabbage, finely chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
24 round dumpling wrappers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large bowl, mix the ground pork, napa cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, beaten egg, salt, and white pepper until well combined.
  2. 2 Place a dumpling wrapper on a flat surface and add about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center.
  3. 3 Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and pleat the edges to seal the dumpling.
  4. 4 Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. 5 Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. 6 Arrange half of the potstickers in the skillet, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. 7 Add 1/8 cup of water to the skillet, cover, and steam the potstickers for 5-6 minutes until the water has evaporated.
  8. 8 Uncover and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
  9. 9 Remove the potstickers and repeat with the remaining batch using the rest of the oil and water.
  10. 10 Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips

Ensure the edges of the dumplings are sealed properly to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
