Potstickers
Potstickers are a type of dumpling that originated in China. They are typically made with a thin dough wrapper and filled with a mixture of ground meat (such as pork or chicken), vegetables, and seasonings. The name "potstickers" comes from the cooking method, where the dumplings are first pan-fried to develop a crispy bottom and then steamed to cook the filling. They are often served with a dipping sauce and make for a delicious appetizer or main dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup cabbage finely chopped
- 1/2 cup green onions chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package round dumpling wrappers (about 40 wrappers)
- 1/4 cup water (for sealing the potstickers)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling in the center.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingertip or a brush.
- Fold the wrapper in half, creating a half-moon shape, and press the edges firmly to seal. You can also create pleats along the edge for a decorative look.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling until you have used up all the ingredients.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Place the potstickers in the pan, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Cook the potstickers for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Pour in the water and cover the pan with a lid. Let the potstickers steam for another 5-6 minutes until the filling is cooked through.
- Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms.
- Once the potstickers are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the pan and serve hot.
- You can serve potstickers with soy sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
