Ingredients
- 500 g ground pork
- 200 g napa cabbage
- 4 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger, finely grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp white pepper
- 50 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the napa cabbage and place it into a medium bowl. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the cabbage, mix well, and let sit for 5-10 minutes to draw out excess water.
Step 2
Squeeze the cabbage tightly in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to remove as much water as possible. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, squeezed cabbage, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, and an additional pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the filling becomes sticky and well combined.
Step 4
Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger, fold the wrapper in half, and pleat the edges to seal tightly. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange pot stickers in the pan with their flat side down, being careful not to overcrowd.
Step 6
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings. Reduce the heat to medium and let cook for 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Step 8
Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottom of the pot stickers.
Step 9
Transfer the pot stickers to a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining dumplings.
Step 10
Serve hot with dipping sauce such as soy sauce with a splash of vinegar and a drizzle of sesame oil.
