Potstickers
Description
This potsticker recipe blends ground pork with shredded green cabbage, diced shiitake mushrooms, pressed garlic, thinly sliced green onions, hoisin sauce, freshly grated ginger, sesame oil, sriracha, and white pepper to create a flavorful and aromatic filling. The mixture is spooned onto wonton wrappers, which are moistened at the edges to seal into half-moon shaped dumplings.
Cooking involves pan-frying the potstickers in vegetable oil over medium heat, allowing the bottoms to develop a golden and crisp crust while cooking the filling through. This method balances a crispy exterior with a tender, juicy interior. The potstickers are typically served hot with soy sauce for dipping, adding salty savoriness.
The recipe yields 36 potstickers, suitable for sharing or serving as an appetizer. Ingredients like sriracha and hoisin add layers of heat and sweetness, complementing the pork and vegetables. For storing, uncooked potstickers can be frozen individually before transferring to a container to prevent sticking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup green cabbage shredded
- 3 ounces shiitake mushrooms diced
- 2 cloves garlic pressed
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger freshly grated
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or more, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 36 wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for serving
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine pork, cabbage, mushrooms, garlic, green onions, hoisin, ginger, sesame oil, Sriracha and white pepper.
- To assemble the dumplings, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potstickers in a single layer and cook until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately with soy sauce, if desired.
Notes
- Sriracha is an Asian hot chili sauce used in the filling and widely available in the Asian foods aisle.
- To freeze, place uncooked potstickers in a single layer on a baking sheet overnight, then transfer to freezer bags to store.
