Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 4 stalks Green onion (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (minced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 cup Cabbage (finely shredded)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 40 pieces Round dumpling wrappers
• 0.25 cup Water (for sealing wrappers)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for cooking)
• 0.5 cup Water (for steaming)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, green onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, cabbage, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to create the filling.

Step 2

Prepare a small bowl of water to use for sealing the dumpling wrappers.

Step 3

Place a dumpling wrapper on a flat surface and spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center.

Step 4

Dip your finger in the water and run it along the edge of the wrapper to moisten it.

Step 5

Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges tightly to seal, pleating them if desired.

Step 6

Repeat the process until all the wrappers are filled and sealed.

Step 7

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Place the pot stickers flat-side down in the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the pot stickers to steam for 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the filling is cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the lid and allow the bottoms to crisp up again for 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Transfer the pot stickers to a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining batch, adding more oil as necessary.

Step 12

Serve the pot stickers hot with soy sauce, black vinegar, or your favorite dipping sauce.
