Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 large head green cabbage
- 3 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Start by finely chopping the green onions and ginger. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Remove the core from the cabbage and carefully peel off 12 large leaves. Blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
Place about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides in and then roll up the leaf to enclose the filling completely.
Step 5
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, arrange half of the cabbage rolls seam side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they are lightly browned on the bottom.
Step 6
Add 1/8 cup water to the skillet and cover immediately. Allow them to steam for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the pork is cooked through. Remove the lid and cook for another minute to let the excess water evaporate.
Step 7
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining cabbage rolls using the second tablespoon of olive oil and remaining water.
Step 8
Remove pot stickers from the pan and serve hot with additional soy sauce or dipping sauce of your choice.
