Time 37m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 green onions
8 ounces ground pork
1 egg yolk
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon salt
25 wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Steps:

Place green onions on a flat work surface. Slice whites and about 1 inch of the green parts thinly. Reserve 1 tablespoon sliced green onions for the sauce.
Combine pork, egg yolk, green onion, garlic, cilantro, and salt in a bowl. Mix filling thoroughly by hand.
Separate and place wonton wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten edges of wonton wrappers with water. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press edges together to seal the potsticker, removing any air pockets.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a few potstickers; cook until they float to the top, about 2 minutes. Remove potstickers with a slotted spoon and place on baking sheet or plate to dry. Repeat with remaining potstickers.
Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar together in a small bowl with a fork to make sauce. Add the reserved green onions. Serve sauce alongside the potstickers.

Time 1h15m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lb ground pork
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
36 round gyoza skins
2 -3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups water, divided

Steps:

Combine all ingredients except gyoza wrappers, vegetable oil and water in large bowl. (Filling can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
2. Place scant 1 tablespoon filling in center of each gyoza wrapper; lightly moisten outside edge of wrapper with a bit of water. Fold wrapper in half to enclose filling, pinching center and each end to make a tight seal. Holding wonton in hand, seal remaining edges, pinching dough towards center, forming a couple of small pleats. Press sealed edge down lightly to plump up dumpling and make it stand up straight.**.
3 Place dumplings in rows on baking sheet so they don't touch. Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil; heat until hot. Place 12 potstickers in skillet (packing them tightly is fine). Cook without disturbing 1 to 2 minutes or until bottoms are pale golden brown.
4. Add 1/2 cup of the water around sides of skillet; immediately cover. Cook 8 minutes. Uncover; cook 1 to 2 minutes, shaking skillet gently to prevent sticking. When water has evaporated and potstickers are crispy brown, place, bottom-side up, on platter. Repeat with remaining potstickers, adding additional oil as needed. Serve hot or warm with sauces for dipping.
TIPS *Cut rounds from wonton wrappers using 3 1/4-inch round cookie cutter, or round off corners with knife. Any leftover wrappers can be tightly wrapped and frozen 3 months.
**Potstickers can be made to this point and frozen 1 month. Place them on a baking sheet 1 inch apart; freeze 3 hours or until completely frozen. Place in resealable plastic freezer bag. They can be cooked frozen; follow instructions, adding an additional 1/4 cup water and an extra 1 to 2 minutes cooking time.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your potstickers. Good options include cabbage, carrots, scallions, and mushrooms.
Be sure to chop your vegetables finely so that they cook evenly.
Use a good quality ground pork. Look for pork that is fresh and has a good fat content.
Season your pork filling generously with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
Use wonton wrappers that are thin and pliable. If you are using fresh wonton wrappers, be sure to dust them with cornstarch before you fill them.
Fold your potstickers carefully so that the filling is completely enclosed. If you are having trouble folding them, you can use a potsticker maker.
Cook your potstickers in a hot pan until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve your potstickers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, vinegar, or chili oil.
