Prepare the potsticker filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped Napa cabbage (ensure excess water is squeezed out), 2 chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce. Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well combined.
⏱️ 10 min - 2
Assemble the potstickers: Take one potsticker wrapper and place about 1 heaping teaspoon of the pork filling in the center. Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the center closed, then create small pleats along one side of the wrapper, pressing them firmly against the unpleated side to seal. Ensure no gaps remain. Repeat until all filling or wrappers are used.
⏱️ 25 min - 3
Prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar, and optional red pepper flakes. Set aside.
⏱️ 5 min - 4
Cook the potstickers: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place a single layer of potstickers in the skillet, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
⏱️ 3 min - 5
Steam the potstickers: Carefully pour 1/2 cup of water into the skillet. Immediately cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Let the potstickers steam for 6-8 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the pork filling is cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).
⏱️ 8 min•🌡️ 160°F - 6
Serve: Remove the lid and increase heat to medium-high for 1 minute to crisp up the bottoms again, if desired. Transfer the cooked potstickers to a serving platter. Garnish the dipping sauce with the reserved 1 tablespoon of chopped green onion. Serve the hot potstickers immediately with the ginger dipping sauce.
