Potstickers are a popular appetizer in Chinese cuisine, often served with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce. The spinach in these potstickers adds an extra boost of nutrients to the filling, making it a healthier option without compromising on flavor. These potstickers can be served as a snack or appetizer, or as part of a larger meal with rice and vegetables. They are easy to customize by adding different ingredients to the filling, such as shredded carrots or mushrooms, to suit your taste.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix together the ground pork, chopped spinach, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and sugar.
2.Lay out your gyoza skins and place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each skin.
3.Dip your finger in water and trace around the edge of the gyoza skin with your finger until it is wet.
4.Fold the gyoza skin over the filling, forming a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges together to seal the potsticker closed. Repeat with remaining gyoza skins.
5.Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add half the potstickers. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are browned and crisp.
6.Slowly pour in 3/4 cup of water and immediately cover the skillet with a lid, reducing the heat to medium-low. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the filling is cooked through and the water has evaporated.
7.Remove the lid and continue cooking until the bottoms of the potstickers are crispy again. Transfer to a platter and repeat with remaining potstickers.
