Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups finely shredded and chopped Napa cabbage
Kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
4 scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
About 16 gyoza or wonton wrappers
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Bottled ponzu sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Toss the cabbage with 1/4 teaspoon salt and let stand for 10 minutes. Add the cilantro, ginger, sesame oil, scallions and garlic and stir to combine.
  • Fill a small bowl with water. Lay a gyoza wrapper on a work surface and spoon a scant tablespoon of the cabbage mixture into the center. Moisten a finger with water and rub it along the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over to make a triangle or half-moon shape, then seal with your fingers, trying to push out any air as you go. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Arrange the potstickers in the skillet in concentric circles and cook until the bottoms are light golden, about 2 minutes. Carefully add 1/4 cup water to the pan; cover and cook until the liquid has evaporated, the wrapper dough is tender, and the undersides of the potstickers are golden brown, about 6 minutes.
  • Transfer the potstickers to a serving platter, crispy-side up, and serve with ponzu sauce.

2 cups shredded carrot
2 cups green cabbage, shredded

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce: in a medium bowl, add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, green onions, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes and whisk to combine.
  • Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes.

  • Fold in half and pinch together, pleating the dough as you go.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over low heat and add the dumplings. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until a crust starts to form on the bottom. Pour ¼ cup (60 ml) of water in the pan and cover with a lid. Steam for 6-8 minutes, then remove the dumplings from the pan.
  • Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
