Potstickers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 cup finely shredded Napa cabbage
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 24 round dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 pound of ground pork, 1 cup of finely shredded Napa cabbage, 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger.
- Place a small spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold the dumpling in half, and press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the potstickers in the skillet in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the potstickers for about 5 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook until the water has evaporated and the bottoms are crispy again, about 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the potstickers to a serving plate and serve with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Potstickers, also known as Chinese dumplings, have a rich history dating back to the Song Dynasty in China. These delectable dumplings are traditionally filled with a mixture of ground meat, vegetables, and seasonings, then folded and pan-fried to create a crispy bottom and a tender, juicy filling. Legend has it that potstickers were invented by accident when a chef in the city of Chang'an forgot about a batch of dumplings cooking in a wok, resulting in a delightful crispy texture. Today, the best potstickers can be found in renowned Chinese restaurants in cities like Beijing and Shanghai, where skilled chefs meticulously prepare and cook these savory delights. The key to perfect potstickers lies in the balance of the filling's flavors and the skillful folding and frying techniques. For a twist, some chefs also steam the dumplings before pan-frying to achieve a soft yet crispy texture. Whether enjoyed as an appetizer or a main course, potstickers continue to be a beloved dish worldwide.
