Forevermama's Authentic Pot Stickers (Northern Chinese) image

This is an authentic recipe derived from the North of China. This was given to me by a culinary professor who studied cooking in China. They are Truly Delicious and abundant with flavor. I used to make them at least once a month. Because of a very busy life, I haven't made them in a while, but I'm placing it back on my "to do".

Time 55m

Yield 24-26 pot stickers, 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

24 -26 gyoza skins (round)
3 ounces ground pork (or ground chicken, refer to note below)
1/4 cup finely shredded napa cabbage
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped scallion
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon chicken stock
1 tablespoon peanut oil (approximate quantity)
2/3 cup water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar or 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar (or to taste)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/2 tablespoon minced scallion
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon hot chili oil

Steps:

  • Combine the pork (or chicken), cabbage, rice wine, soy sauce, salt, pepper, scallions, sesame oil, sugar and stock. Mix well and set aside.
  • Once you remove wrappers from its packaging, keep them covered with a damp dish towel (this will prevent them from drying out -- they need to remain moist for a successful result).
  • Place 4 wrappers at a time on a work surface. Place about 1 teaspoons of filling in the center of each wrapper and fold in half. Moisten the edges with water and pinch together with your fingers, making sure there are no open gaps. Pleat around edges, pinching to seal well.
  • Transfer the dumplings to a floured sheet pan and keep covered with a damp towel until you have finished stuffing all the dumplings.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat until it is hot. Add the peanut oil (you may need to use more than 1 T) and place the dumplings, flat side down in the pan. Turn down the heat and cook about 2 minutes or until they are lightly browned (you do not need to turn these over). (You may need 2 skillets). Add the 2/3 cup of water; cover the pan tightly and cook for 10-15 minutes over low heat until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Uncover the pan and continue cooking another 2 minutes. Remove the dumplings to a serving platter and serve with the Dipping Sauce.
  • Dipping Sauce:.
  • Mix all ingredients together. Taste for seasoning and correct if necessary. (The amounts given are approximate, as I normally eye-ball it).
  • NOTE: Though the authentic recipe uses pork, I have used chicken breast as well which I ran through the food processor.
  • The serving size of 4-5 is approximate because it all depends if you serve this as an appetizer versus a main meal.

I'm shocked that this recipe has so many positive reviews. The pot stickers were an absolute disaster.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pot stickers still didn't turn out right. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The recipe was missing some key ingredients, so I had to guess at what to use. The pot stickers turned out okay, but they weren't great.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pot stickers didn't turn out at all. They were all mushy and the filling was bland.

The pot stickers were good, but I think they would have been better if I had used a different dipping sauce.

These pot stickers were a bit too oily for my taste, but they were still pretty good.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the pot stickers didn't turn out as crispy as I hoped. I'll have to try again.

I've been making pot stickers for years, and this recipe is definitely one of the best. The dumplings are perfectly crispy and the filling is delicious.

I'm not a big fan of pot stickers, but I tried these and they were surprisingly good. The filling was moist and flavorful, and the wrappers were crispy.

The instructions were clear. However, I used ground turkey instead of pork and they were fabulous.

I've made these pot stickers several times and they always turn out perfect! The filling is savory and juicy, and the wrappers are crispy and chewy.
