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 oil whatever is safe for you, I like olive oil
  • nonstick cooking spray optional
  • 1/3 cup hot water more might be needed
  • White vinegar or dipping sauce for serving see notes below

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.
