Pork and Ginger Potstickers
- 3/4 pounds Ground Pork
- 3 stalks Green Onion, Minced
- 5 leaves Napa Cabbage, Minced
- 5 whole Mushrooms, Minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/4 cups Fresh Ginger, Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce (I Use Low-sodium)
- 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1- 1/2 package (about 12 Oz. Package) Round Potsticker Wrappers
- 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil, For Cooking
- Make sure all vegetables are finely minced.
- You dont want a mush, you want a mince, but you dont want large chunks of anything in the filling.
- Combine all the ingredients (except the wrappers and canola oil) and stir well to combine.
- Scoop small teaspoons of filling into the center of each round wrapper.
- Use a pastry brush to brush water on one half of the wrappers border.
- Fold each wrapper in half tightly to enclose the filling and remove any extra air bubbles.
- Pinch the edge together tightly.
- Make several small folds at the top of each wrapper and set aside.
- Note: You will probably only use 1 1/2 packages of wrappers.
- Freeze the remaining ones for up to 3 months.
- If you are making the potstickers ahead of time, place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment or waxed paper.
- Place in the freezer until solid (about 30 minutes), then store in an airtight container or freezer bag until ready to use.
- Otherwise, use immediately.
- To cook, heat a large pan with 1 tablespoon canola oil.
- Place about 1 dozen potstickers in at a time, flat side down.
- Cook 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat until bottoms are browned.
- Pour in 1/2 cup water and cover with a lid.
- Let steam 5-7 minutes or until water is absorbed and wrappers are transluscent.
- If cooking frozen, add an additional 2-3 minutes to the steaming time.
- Serve with dipping sauce or teriyaki sauce.
