Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lbs (454 g) ground pork
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2-inch piece minced fresh ginger
- 1/4 tsp coarse salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup green onion
- 32 wonton wrappers
- 3 Tbsp canola oil
- 2 cups (473 ml) water or stock
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine pork, egg, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, salt, black pepper, and green onion. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Lay wonton wrappers out on a flat surface and place about a tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of each. Wet the edges of each wonton wrapper, bring the corners into the center, and pinch together to form a wonton shape.
- Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 350°F/177°C). Sear the potstickers in batches until browned and crispy.
- Increase the heat to high. Add about 8 potstickers to the pan, add ¼ of the water or stock, cover, and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the liquid is almost absorbed and the potstickers are tender but firm. Repeat with remaining potstickers.
- Whisk together chili oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes to make a dipping sauce.
- Serve potstickers with chili oil dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra flavorful dumplings, marinate the pork mixture for at least 30 minutes before assembling.
- If wonton wrappers are dry, lightly brush with water to prevent cracking during sealing.
- Leftover dumplings can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months; reheat in a skillet or steamer.
