Pot stickers are a traditional Northern Chinese dish that has become popular worldwide. Depending on the region, they may be called gyoza, mandu, or dumplings. The authentic recipe for pot stickers calls for ground pork, napa cabbage, ginger, rice wine, soy sauce, and scallion filling, wrapped in a wheat-based dough and either steamed or pan-fried. The dipping sauce can also be customized to suit your taste preferences. Pot stickers are a delicious appetizer that can be enjoyed with friends and family or as a quick meal on-the-go.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, combine ground pork (or chicken), napa cabbage, ginger, rice wine, soy sauce, salt, pepper, scallions, sesame oil, sugar, and chicken stock. Mix well.
2.Take a gyoza skin, place a teaspoonful of meat filling in the center. Brush water on the skin's edge. Fold the skin in half and seal the edges. Repeat until all skins and filling are used.
3.Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over high heat. Arrange the dumplings in the pan, flat side down. Cook for 2 minutes or until the bottoms are light brown.
4.Pour water into the pan until the bottom is 1/3 covered with water. Reduce heat to medium heat, cover pan and simmer for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the filling is fully cooked.
5.In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar or balsamic vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced scallions, minced garlic, and hot chili oil. Mix well and serve as a dipping sauce for the pot stickers.

CONS

HEALTH & BENEFITS

The napa cabbage in this recipe is a great source of Vitamin C and fiber. By using ground chicken instead of pork, you can reduce the amount of saturated fat in the pot stickers. The ginger in the recipe has anti-inflammatory properties and may help with digestion. The dipping sauce can also be customized to suit your health needs, using low-sodium soy sauce or omitting the hot chili oil if spicy foods are triggers for you.
