Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 small carrot, grated
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 30 pieces dumpling wrappers
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, cabbage, carrot, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center.

Step 3

Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it in half, and pinch the edges to seal. Ensure the potsticker is sealed tightly to prevent any filling from oozing out during cooking.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place potstickers in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.

Step 7

Cook for 2–3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover it with a lid. Be cautious, as the water will create steam.

Step 9

Allow the potstickers to steam under the lid for about 5 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the bottoms are crisp again.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked potstickers to a serving plate and keep warm.

Step 11

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining potstickers, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 12

Serve the potstickers warm with your choice of soy-free dipping sauce.
