Yield Makes 30 potstickers

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 small head Napa cabbage, finely chopped (about 2 cups; 7 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus 1/8 teaspoon for seasoning
1/3 pound ground pork (not too lean)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (from 1/2-inch knob)
1 small carrot, coarsely shredded (about 2 tablespoons)
2 scallions, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
1/2 egg, lightly beaten
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
30 gyoza (pot sticker) wrappers, from 1 (14-ounce) package*
1/4 cup canola oil
*Available at Asian markets, gyoza wrappers can also be found in the refrigerated section of many supermarkets. If unavailable, substitute won ton wrappers and cut into 3 1/4-inch rounds.
Accompaniments: dim sum dipper and cranberry-teriyaki glazeepi:recipelink.

Steps:

  • In large bowl, toss together cabbage and 3/4 teaspoon salt and set aside for 30 minutes. Transfer to clean dish towel or cheesecloth, gather ends together, and twist to squeeze out as much water as possible. Wipe bowl clean, then return cabbage to it. Add pork, ginger, carrots, scallions, and garlic and stir to combine.
  • In small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and egg, then stir into cabbage-pork mixture. Stir in pepper and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  • On dry surface, lay out 1 gyoza wrapper, keeping remaining wrappers covered with dampened cloth or paper towel. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons filling into center, then moisten halfway around edge with wet finger. Fold moisture-free half of wrapper over moistened half to form open half-moon shape. To seal, using thumb and forefinger of one hand, form 6 tiny pleats along unmoistened edge of wrapper, pressing pleats against moistened border to enclose filling. Moistened border will stay smooth and will automatically curve in semicircle. Stand dumpling, seam-side up, on baking sheet and gently press to flatten bottom. Cover loosely with dampened cloth or paper towel. Form remaining dumplings in same manner.
  • In 10-inch, lidded, non-stick skillet over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking, then remove from heat and arrange pot stickers in tight circular pattern standing up in oil (they should touch one another). Cook, uncovered, until bottoms are pale golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, tilting skillet to distribute, then cover tightly with lid and cook until liquid has evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are crisp and golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons more water if skillet looks dry before bottoms are browned. Remove lid and cook, shaking skillet to loosen pot stickers, until steam dissipates, 1 to 2 minutes. Invert large plate with rim over skillet. Using pot holders, hold plate and skillet together and invert skillet. Remove skillet and serve pot stickers warm.

PORK GYOZA (POT STICKER DUMPLINGS)



Pork Gyoza (Pot Sticker Dumplings) image

These fried, then steamed, dumplings are incredibly morish- I have eaten 12 and looked for more! The portion below makes about 45-50 dumplings. I normally freeze half of the mixture. It never stays in the freezer too long! If you have ginger oil, add it to the frying oil for extra flavour.

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

400 g ground pork
2 spring onions
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 inches minced ginger
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
25 dumpling wrappers
vegetable oil (for frying)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
3 drops sesame oil
minced ginger (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Mix the pork, spring onions, ginger, egg, chili sauce, soy sauce and seasame oil in a food processor. This is your dumpling filling.
  • Wet the edges of the dumpling wrappers with water, put a dollop of filling in the center and press and fold the edges together to seal.
  • Heat the vegetable oil for frying- you can also add a few drops of ginger and sesame oil to this for extra flavour. About 2 tablespoons in total is ample.
  • Fry about 12 dumplings at a time in the oil, turning to brown. When they have been frying for about 2 minutes, add 0.5 cup of water to the pan and cook until the water is absorbed. I normally cover the pan for the first two minutes of this cooking time to ensure they are well steamed.
  • Remove and served with the dipping sauce.
  • For the sauce:.
  • Combine the sauce ingredients and garnish with the chopped ginger.

Tips:

  • Prep the filling first. This allows the flavors to meld while you prepare the wrappers.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the filling. This adds flavor, texture, and nutrients.
  • Don't overfill the pot stickers. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and cook evenly.
  • Pleat the pot stickers carefully. This helps to seal them and prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Cook the pot stickers in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking and burning.
  • Add water to the skillet and cover the pot stickers. This will help to steam them and cook them evenly.
  • Serve the pot stickers with your favorite dipping sauce. Soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Pork pot stickers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
