Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 4 stalks green onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp fish sauce
• 12 whole leaves napa cabbage leaves
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the filling. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and fish sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2

Prepare the napa cabbage leaves by carefully removing them from the head of cabbage. Wash and pat dry.

Step 3

Lay a cabbage leaf flat and place about a tablespoon of the pork filling in the center.

Step 4

Fold the edges of the cabbage leaf around the filling to form a rough dumpling shape. Use a skewer or toothpick to secure if necessary.

Step 5

Repeat the process with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.

Step 6

In a large non-stick skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 7

Carefully place the pot stickers in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully add water to the skillet and cover immediately. Allow the pot stickers to steam for about 6-8 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the lid and continue to cook until all the water evaporates and the bottom of the pot stickers becomes crispy again.

Step 10

Remove from pan and serve hot. Enjoy your Whole30 Classic Pork Pot Stickers with additional coconut aminos for dipping, if desired.
