  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 3 Tbsp. fresh ginger, finely minced
  • 2 Tbsp., plus 1 tsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1?1/2 cups green cabbage, finely chopped
  • 32 wonton wrappers
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • Water
  1. In a large bowl, add pork and the next 6 ingredients; mix well. Add the cabbage; thoroughly combine. Tamp down lightly, cover with plastic and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  2. Lightly moisten the edges of a wonton wrapper with a wet finger. Place a small scoop of the ground pork mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold up two sides and pinch together in the center. Pinch together the remaining edges, forming pleats. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling until all the wonton wrappers are filled.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Add 6-7 pot stickers, flat side down, into the hot oil. Cook about 2 minutes until bottoms are golden brown. 
  4. Drizzle in about 2 Tbsp. of water and quickly cover the pan; steam the pot stickers for 3 minutes. Uncover; reduce heat to medium. 
  5. Continue cooking about 1-2 minutes until the water evaporates and the bottoms are browned and crunchy. Transfer to a warm serving dish. Repeat until remaining pot stickers are cooked. Serve with soy sauce.
