Ingredients

  • 300 grams ground pork
  • 200 grams shrimp, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 cup green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 3 stalks scallions, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 40 pieces wonton wrappers
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, shredded cabbage, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix until well combined and evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Set up a workstation with a small bowl of water, the wonton wrappers, and the filling mixture. Take one wonton wrapper and place it in your palm.

Step 3

Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper. Dip your finger in the water and run it along the edges of the wrapper to moisten.

Step 4

Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal tightly. If desired, pleat the edges for a decorative finish.

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Keep the completed potstickers covered with a clean, damp towel to prevent them from drying out.

Step 6

Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, arrange potstickers flat-side down in a single layer, leaving space between them.

Step 7

Fry the potstickers for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden and crisp. Carefully pour in 1/4 cup of water and cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 8

Allow the potstickers to steam for 5-6 minutes, or until the water has evaporated. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp the bottoms further.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked potstickers to a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining potstickers, adding more oil as needed.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili oil, or a mixture of soy sauce and rice vinegar.
