Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 cup Napa cabbage
• 4 pieces Scallions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 40 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the napa cabbage and mix it with a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 2

After 10 minutes, use your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the cabbage. Place the drained cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the ground pork, scallions, ginger, garlic, low sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil to the bowl with the cabbage. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

Step 4

Lay out the wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Keep a small bowl of water nearby as you work.

Step 5

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Dip your finger in the water and wet the edges of the wrapper.

Step 6

Fold the wrapper over to create a half-moon shape, pressing and carefully pleating the edges to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.

Step 7

Mix cornstarch with the water until smooth. Use this mixture to lightly coat the bottom of each dumpling to prevent sticking while frying.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Place enough pot stickers in the pan to fill, ensuring they do not touch and fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to medium. Carefully pour about 1/4 cup water into the pan and immediately cover the pan with a lid to steam the dumplings. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the water evaporates.

Step 11

Remove the lid and allow the pot stickers to fry for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 12

Repeat with remaining dumplings, adding more oil as needed.

Step 13

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
