Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 4 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 cup Napa cabbage, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 package Potsticker wrappers
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped green onions, chopped Napa cabbage, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 2

Place a potsticker wrapper in the palm of your hand. Spoon about a tablespoon of filling onto the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

Step 4

Press the edges together to seal, making sure there are no air bubbles and pleating the edge if desired.

Step 5

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Place potstickers in the skillet, flat side down, in a single layer. Fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet. Cover immediately with a lid and reduce heat to medium. Steam the potstickers until the water has evaporated, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the lid and let the potstickers fry for an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms.

Step 10

Serve hot with soy sauce or dipping sauce of your choice.
