A quick and easy recipe for crispy pork potstickers with a flavorful soy dipping sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) ground pork
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry (optional)
  • 1 cup cabbage, finely chopped (Napa preferred)
  • Around 40 potsticker wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying (canola or grapeseed recommended)
  • For the soy dipping sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • A pinch of chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 green onion stalk, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine (if using), and cabbage. Mix gently until evenly combined (about 5 minutes).
  2. Fill the wrappers: Place a potsticker wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center. Moisten edges with water, fold in half, and pleat one side to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling (20-25 minutes).
  3. Cook the potstickers: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange potstickers flat side down without touching. Fry 2-3 minutes until bottoms are golden and crisp.
  4. Steam the potstickers: Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) water into the pan and cover immediately. Reduce heat to medium and steam 5-6 minutes until water evaporates and pork is cooked through. Remove lid and cook 1-2 minutes more to re-crisp bottoms (total cooking time about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Make the dipping sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, chili flakes (if using), and chopped green onion in a small bowl (5 minutes).
  6. Serve hot: Arrange potstickers on a platter with dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy immediately for best texture.

Notes

Keep a small bowl of water nearby to patch torn wrappers. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispy bottoms. Use a hot pan and tightly cover when steaming. For gluten-free, substitute tamari and gluten-free wrappers or rice paper. Vegetarian option: replace pork with chopped mushrooms and tofu.
