  • Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups napa cabbage, very finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ lb. ground pork
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rice wine
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch, for binding
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon each: ground ginger, white pepper
  • 30 dumpling wrappers, plus extra in case of breakage
  • ½ cup water per batch, or chicken broth
  • 4-6 tablespoons peanut oil, can substitute canola, vegetable, avocado, or olive oil
  • chili crisp
  • Chives or green onions
  • toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare a large nonstick skillet with a clear, tight-fitting lid.
  2. On a paper towel-lined plate, place the chopped napa cabbage and sprinkle with half of the salt. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
  3. After resting, squeeze out as much excess moisture from the cabbage using paper towels. Meanwhile, gather and measure all remaining ingredients.
  4. Sprinkle the ground pork with the remaining salt and then mix it with the other filling ingredients, including the cabbage, in a large bowl until well combined.
  5. Take out 1-2 dumpling wrappers, keeping the rest covered with a damp dish towel to prevent drying out.
  6. Place just under 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper in half but do not seal it yet.
  7. Pleat the front of the wrapper while keeping the back smooth. Press firmly to seal, removing any air. Curve the dumpling into a crescent shape for upright positioning.
  8. Cover the assembled dumplings with another damp dish towel and repeat the process until all filling is used.
  9. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and place half of the dumplings flat-side down. Ensure there is space between each to allow crisping.
  10. Cook on medium heat until the bottoms are golden and crisp, about 2-4 minutes. Add water or broth to the skillet, cover to trap steam, and lower the heat to let them steam for 8 minutes.
  11. After steaming, remove the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow extra moisture to evaporate. Transfer to a serving plate and repeat the process with the remaining dumplings.
  12. Finish by garnishing with chili crisp, chives, and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Ensure the dumpling wrappers are kept covered to prevent them from drying out.
You can adjust the filling according to your taste by adding different vegetables or proteins.
These potstickers freeze well; just fry them without thawing and add an extra minute to cooking time.
