Instructions
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, cayenne pepper, cabbage, garlic, green onions, and ginger.
Cover with plastic. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
Assemble
Place wrappers on a work surface, along with a small bowl of warm water.
Using a 1 tablespoon measurer, scoop out pork mixture and place into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger dipped in the water, lightly moisten the edges of a wrapper.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then pinch together edges to form "pleats" along one side. Tap on the work surface to flatter one side.
Heat half the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add 6-8 potstickers in a single layer and cook in the hot oil, flat side down. After bottoms are golden brown (2-3 minutes), drizzle 2 Tablespoons of water in and quickly cover the pan; steam for 3 minutes.
Uncover; reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until water evaporates and bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 more minutes.
Transfer to a warm serving dish and repeat until all potstickers are cooked. Add more oil and water as needed.
Dipping Sauce
Mix together and serve with potstickers.
Notes
NOTES:
To freeze, assemble potstickers, and place uncooked potstickers in a single layer on a baking sheet overnight. Freeze, then transfer to freezer bags. When ready to serve, add additional time for steaming.
