These Pork Pot Stickers are surprisingly easy to make at home and better than takeout! These delicious pot stickers are filled with a juicy, flavourful pork filling and have the classic crispy bottoms a pot sticker needs!
In a large bowl, add pork, green onions, ground ginger, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Mix until everything is combined. If adding shredded cabbage, mix it in at this point.
Lay out one dumpling wrapper. Fill a small bowl with water and dip your finger in it. Run your wet finger along the edge of the dumpling wrapper. Place a scoop of pork filling into the center of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper in half to form a half moon shape and press down to seal the edges. You can crimp the edges if you like or leave them as is. Place the dumpling onto a baking sheet, pressing down on the bottom to help it stand up on its own. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
To cook the pot stickers, you may need to batch cook them, depending on how many you are making at this time. Heat a couple tablespoons of oil in a nonstick frying pan. Place pot stickers in your pan so that they are standing up. Cook for a couple of minutes until a nice brown crust forms on the bottom of the pot stickers.
Make sure you have a lid for your frying pan ready to use. Add 1/3 cup water to the pan and cover immediately with the lid as it will splatter. Leave the lid on and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes or until the water has been absorbed.
Remove the lid and cook for another minute. Remove from the pan.
Sprinkle pot stickers with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with soy sauce.
