Pot Stickers (Chinese Dumplings)
Delicious Chinese dumplings with a savory filling, crispy bottoms, and soft tops. Perfect for an appetizer or a snack.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork Can substitute with ground chicken or beef if preferred.
- 1 cup cabbage Finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger Grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 package dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil For frying
- 1/4 cup water For steaming
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground pork, cabbage, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Place a dumpling wrapper on a flat surface and add about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture to the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold in half, and press edges together to seal.
- Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange dumplings in the pan with the sealed edges up, cook until bottoms are golden brown.
- Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow dumplings to steam for about 5 minutes, until the water has evaporated.
- Remove the lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes until bottoms are crispy again. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.

My friend said dumplings are a good source of protein, but are they really? I don’t trust anyone who makes ground pork dumplings. Just use beef or chicken! 🤔
You really trust your friend? Dumplings are good but pork tends to have more fat than chicken or beef. Just saying! 🤔
I mean, dumplings can be a decent source of protein, but you’re right, ground pork isn’t for everyone. Beef or chicken could be better for some folks! 🤷♂️
These pot stickers are legit! Super easy to make and taste so good. My family loved them!
I had a bit of trouble with the wrapping part, they kept falling apart. But they still tasted alright in the end. Maybe I need more practice?
