Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Finely chop green onions and grate ginger. In a bowl, mix pork, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger until well combined.

  2. Step 2

    Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten edges with water, fold, and pleat to seal tightly.

  3. Step 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange potstickers in a single layer, flat side down.

  4. Step 4

    Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully pour in water, then cover immediately.

  5. Step 5

    Steam for 8-10 minutes until water evaporates and filling is cooked through. Uncover and cook 1-2 minutes to re-crisp bottoms.

  6. Step 6

    Slide onto a plate, crispy side up. Garnish with extra sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot with soy sauce for dipping.
