- 1.
- Place shredded Nappa cabbage in a colander.
- Sprinkle with salt and toss to coat.
- Let it stand for 20 to 30 minutes in the sink.
- 2.
- Wring the water from the cabbage by placing a handful or two in a clean kitchen towel and twisting.
- Place the cabbage in a large bowl.
- 3.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine prepared cabbage, pork, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and egg.
- Mix to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least a couple of hours for the flavors to blend.
- I like to let mine sit overnight.
- Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a large jar and shaking to combine.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve potstickers.
- 4.
- When ready to fill and prepare the potstickers, follow the instructions on the package of the wonton wrappers.
- Basically, lay a wonton wrapper out on a flat surface.
- Place 1-2 teaspoons of filling just slightly off to one side of the middle.
- Dip your finger in some water and wet the edges of the wonton wrapper.
- Fold the wrapper over, making sure to get out any air.
- Press lightly along the edges of the wrapper to seal.
- Try to make sure the potsticker will stand up.
- Set the completed potstickers aside and repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- 5.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Coat the bottom with about 1 Tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Add the potstickers into the pan 10 to 12 at a time depending on the size of your skillet.
- Let them fry for 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Quickly add 2/3 to 3/4 cups water to the skillet and clamp on the lid.
- Cook an additional 7 minutes or until cooked through.
- Remove the potstickers from the pot with tongs.
- Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
- Repeat the process with the remaining potstickers cooking them 10 or 12 at a time until you are done.
- Make sure the pot doesnt run dry each time or the potstickers will not steam.
- Keep the completed potstickers warm until serving.
- 6.
- Serve potstickers with dipping sauce.
- NOTE: If the potstickers stick to the bottom of the pan, just add a bit more water, clamp on the lid, and wait another minute.
- The water should loosen them enough that they can easily be removed from the pan.
