Filling

  • 2 tsp. salt
  • ¼ carrot chopped
  • 4 tbsp. warm water
  • 600 g pork with at least 30% fat
  • 1 thumb ginger
  • 3 scallion white
  • 4 tbsp. warm water
  • 2 tbsp. light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. ground white pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • ¼ cup chopped scallion
Dipping sauce ingredients
  • 1 tbsp. red pepper flakes
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp. chopped scallion
  • 2 tbsp. hot boiling oil
  • 1 tsp. oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp. black vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. water

Instructions

Prepare the cabbage
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a separate bowl, add the chopped cabbage and combine it with 2 teaspoons of salt.
  2. Place the shredded cabbage in a bowl filled with water and then pick up handfuls and squeeze out the water. Add these handfuls directly to the pork mixture.
Pork Potsticker Filling
  1. Give your ground pork a chop before adding it to a mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, add the white scallion and ginger, along with the 4 tablespoons of warm water. Mix quickly before letting that rest.
  3. Add two tablespoons of water to the pork and mix to loosen it up.
  4. Repeat this process, but instead, I recommend using your gloved hand to really mix the water and pork together.
  5. Once it’s mixed, add salt, ground white pepper, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and egg to the bowl. Mix ingredients together until combined.
  6. Add chopped scallion (green onion) and boiling hot oil to the mixing bowl next.
  7. Add the chopped carrot and mix the cabbage into the pork.
Assemble the potsticker
  1. Place a tablespoon of the potsticker mixture into the middle of a dumpling wrapper.
  2. Dip your finger into water and then rub this along one edge. Press the wet and non-wet sides together to seal the dumpling. Watch the video to see how I make the pleated edges.
Pan fry the Pork Potsticker
  1. Add your potstickers to an oiled skillet in a single layer.
  2. Once the potstickers are golden brown on one side (usually this only takes 2 to 3 minutes), add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and place the lid on top to steam them for a further 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. When the dumpling wrapper becomes harden and crispy again, you can remove the potstickers from the skillet.
Prepare the dipping sauce.
  1. To make the dipping sauce, place the first 5 dry ingredients (chili pepper flakes, sesame seeds, garlic, ginger and scallion) in a bowl and mix them together.
  2. Pour smoky hot oil on top. Then add the remaining 4 ingredients and mix together once more. Dip your pork potsticker into the dipping sauce and enjoy!
