Traditional Pot Stickers
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 medium head cabbage, finely chopped
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 2 slices fresh ginger root, finely chopped
  • 2 water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers
  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon chili oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Instructions
1
Break the pork into smaller pieces and place them in a large, deep pan over medium-high heat. Allow it to cook evenly until it's uniformly browned. Remove the pork from the pan and set it aside.
2
In a separate, medium-sized container, combine the pork, shredded cabbage, chopped green onion, grated ginger, sliced water chestnuts, salt, sugar, and sesame oil. Refrigerate the mixture for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
3
Take a small amount of the pork mixture and place it in each wonton wrapper. Fold the wrappers over the filling, making sure to seal the edges tightly with a fork that has been moistened.
4
In another large, deep pan, heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Place the pot stickers seam-side up in the pan and let them cook for 30 seconds to a minute. Add water to the pan, then bring it to a gentle boil for 7 to 8 minutes. After that, pour in the remaining oil and continue cooking until the bottoms of the pot stickers start to brown. Remove them from heat.
5
To serve, mix together a small amount of chili oil, soy sauce, and vinegar in a tiny serving bowl.
