Equipment

Ingredients

½ pound ground pork
1 cup finely chopped cabbage
2 green onions finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
½ tablespoon minced ginger
1½ tablespoons rice vinegar
½ tablespoon oyster sauce
½ teaspoon cornstarch plus more for dusting pan
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 12-ounce package potsticker wrappers
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
⅔ cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

Combine ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each potsticker wrapper. Wet the edges with water and pleat the edges to seal completely, creating a half-moon shape.
Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Dust the pan lightly with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Add potstickers to the pan, crimped side up, ensuring they don't touch each other. Fry until bottoms are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully add chicken broth to the pan, cover immediately, and cook until liquid is absorbed and wrappers are tender, 2-4 minutes.
Remove lid and let any remaining liquid evaporate. Serve immediately while crispy.

Notes

Make sure cabbage is finely chopped and well-drained to prevent soggy filling

Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out

Potstickers can be assembled ahead and frozen on a baking sheet before transferring to freezer bags

Cook frozen potstickers directly from freezer, adding 1-2 extra minutes to cooking time

Substitute ground chicken or turkey for pork if desired

Serve with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil for dipping

Don't overcrowd the pan - cook in batches if necessary for best results
