Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground pork
4 cloves minced garlic
½ cup finely chopped green onions
3 tablespoons very finely minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 ½ cups finely chopped green cabbage
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup hot water, about 130 -150 F (55-65 C)
¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
¼ cup soy sauce
6 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying, or as needed - divided
8 tablespoons water for steaming, divided

Steps:

  • Place ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Top with chopped green cabbage. Mix with fork until thoroughly combined. Tamp down lightly; cover with plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour.
  • Place flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in hot water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a shaggy dough. Flour your hands and transfer dough to a work surface. Knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If dough seems too sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour, about 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic, and let it rest about 30 minutes.
  • When dough has rested, divide into 4 equal pieces. Cover 3 pieces with a dish cloth while you work the first piece. Roll into a small log about the thickness of a thumb, about 3/4 inch. Divide each log into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin 3 1/2-inch circle on a lightly floured surface to form the pot sticker wrappers. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
  • Lightly moisten the edges of a wrapper with your wet finger. Place a small scoop of the ground pork mixture onto the center of a wrapper. Fold up the 2 sides and pinch together in the center. Pinch together the remaining edges, forming "pleats" along one side. Tap the pot sticker on the work surface to slightly flatten the bottom; form a slight curve in it so it stands upright in the pan. Transfer to a well-floured plate. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Mix together seasoned rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl for the dipping sauce.
  • Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Place about 6 or 7 pot stickers in the hot oil, flat side down. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in water and quickly cover the pan; steam for 3 minutes. Uncover; reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until water evaporates and bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer to a warm serving dish. Repeat with remaining pot stickers. Serve with dipping sauce.

½ pound ground pork
½ head napa cabbage, shredded
1 egg
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce, or more to taste
1 small clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
30 gyoza wrappers, or as needed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
1 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

Tips for Making the Best Japanese Potsticker Dip:

  • Use high-quality soy sauce. The soy sauce is the base of the dip, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a soy sauce that is rich in flavor and has a deep, dark color.
  • Add a little bit of sweetness. A touch of sweetness helps to balance out the salty and sour flavors of the dip. You can add sugar, honey, or even pineapple juice.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic. Fresh ginger and garlic add a lot of flavor to the dip. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic on hand, you can use ground ginger and garlic powder, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the ingredients to your taste. The recipe is a starting point, but you can adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste. If you like a spicier dip, add more Sriracha sauce. If you like a sweeter dip, add more sugar or honey.

Conclusion:

Japanese potsticker dip is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used with a variety of dishes. It's perfect for dipping potstickers, dumplings, and other Asian appetizers. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken, fish, or tofu. No matter how you use it, Japanese potsticker dip is sure to add a touch of flavor to your meal.
