Ingredients

• 12 large Green cabbage leaves
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 cup Napa cabbage, finely shredded
• 0.25 cup Carrot, finely grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Dipping sauce (soy sauce or your choice)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the green cabbage leaves in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until softened. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain and cool.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, napa cabbage, carrot, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Lay out a blanched cabbage leaf and place about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll up to form a tight packet. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the wrapped pot stickers seam side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

Step 5

Once browned, reduce the heat to low, carefully add the water to the skillet, and cover immediately to steam. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the pork is fully cooked through.

Step 6

Remove the lid and cook for another minute to evaporate any remaining water.

Step 7

Serve the pot stickers warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
