Chinese Potstickers Recipe: Pork & Napa Cabbage
Chinese Potstickers are also called Jiaozi or Guotie in Chinese. This is a traditional recipe using store bought potsticker wrappers and a basic filling of pork and napa cabbage. Our family loves potstickers and I have plans to share additional variations with you later but let's start with one super easy recipe.

Ingredients
- 4 oz Napa cabbage leaves approximately 6 leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 scallion chopped
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper or black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 22 potsticker wrappers have a few extras just in case
- 1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil whatever is safe for you, I like olive oil, generic cooking oil
- cooking spray optional, nonstick
- 1/3 cup water more might be needed, hot
- white vinegar see notes below, or dipping sauce for serving
Instructions
Make the filling
Assemble potstickers (refer to the blog post for details)
Pan fry the potstickers
Notes
- I like dipping my potstickers in white vinegar or Chinese red vinegar on the side. Otherwise, I would serve guests a dipping sauce from 2 tablespoons each of rice vinegar and soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions, 1 teaspoon each of sugar and grated or julienne ginger.WHEN COOKING FROZEN POTSTICKERS: do not thaw but allow extra cooking time by adding more hot water at step 17.
