Ingredients
- 250 grams ground pork
- 100 grams napa cabbage
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 40 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 0.5 cup water
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the filling. Finely chop the napa cabbage and place it in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to extract moisture.
Step 2
While the cabbage is resting, thinly slice the green onions. Grate the ginger and mince the garlic.
Step 3
After 10 minutes, squeeze out excess water from the cabbage using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, napa cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of additional salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 5
Set up your workspace with a small bowl of water, a spoon, and the dumpling wrappers. Hold one wrapper in your palm and spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center.
Step 6
Dip your fingertip in some water and moisten the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half, pressing the top center to seal.
Step 7
Create pleats starting from the center towards the edges, pressing to seal after each pleat. Ensure there are no air bubbles and the edges are tightly sealed.
Step 8
Repeat the process with all dumpling wrappers until the filling is used up.
Step 9
To cook the pot stickers, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 10
When the oil is hot, gently place the pot stickers in the pan, flat-side down, in a single layer and cook until the bottoms turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 11
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and cover immediately with a lid to steam the pot stickers.
Step 12
Cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the wrappers are cooked through.
Step 13
Remove the lid and let the pot stickers fry for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp the bottoms further.
Step 14
Transfer the pot stickers to a serving plate and repeat with remaining pot stickers, using 1 tablespoon of oil for each batch.
Step 15
Serve immediately with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
