Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 15 servings

  • ½ pound ground pork

  • ½ 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

  • ½ teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers

  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • ¾ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon chili oil

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Directions

  1. Crumble pork into a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside.

  2. To make the filling: Mix browned pork, cabbage, green onion, ginger, water chestnuts, salt, sugar and sesame oil together in a medium bowl until well combined; cover and chill mixture in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.

  3. Place a tablespoon of the pork mixture into each wonton wrapper. Fold the wrappers, and seal the edges with a moistened fork.

  4. Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet, over medium high heat. Place pot stickers into hot oil seam-side up. Heat 30 seconds to a minute. Pour water into the skillet. Gently boil until oil and water begins to sizzle, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add remaining oil; continue to cook pot stickers until bottoms begin to brown. Transfer pot stickers to a warm serving platter.

  5. To make the dipping sauce: Mix chili oil, soy sauce, and vinegar together in a small serving bowl. Taste and adjust proportions to taste.

  6. Serve warm pot stickers with dipping sauce.
