Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Use high-protein flour for fluffier dough.
  • ½ cup water
Filling
  • 1 cup ground pork Opt for fresh ground pork for superior flavor.
  • 1 cup finely chopped cabbage Cabbage adds moisture and crunch.
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil Adds nutty richness.
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For Cooking
  • Oil for frying Use a heavy-bottomed skillet.
Dipping Sauce
  • Soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil Customize to your taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and water, kneading until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully integrated.
Assembly
  1. Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface until paper thin. Cut into circles about 3 inches in diameter.
  2. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle and fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add potstickers in a single layer, frying until the bottoms are golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
  2. Add a splash of water to the pan, cover promptly, and steam the potstickers for about 5 minutes until fully cooked.
Serving
  1. Enjoy your potstickers hot, dipped in your customized blend of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.
