Ingredients

For the dumplings:

2/3 pound ground pork
2 green onions, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons mushroom soy sauce
20 to 22 gyoza wrappers or wonton skins
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chicken stock

For the sauce:

4 tablespoons mushroom soy sauce
3 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 drops hot chili oil, or more to taste
1 Thai red chile, thinly sliced, stem removed
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions

Directions

In a small mixing bowl combine the pork, green onions, ginger, garlic, cornstarch and soy and mix thoroughly. Working in batches, lay the gyoza wrappers on a clean, dry surface and place about 1 tablespoon in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, and bring the edges together at the top so that they meet. Press to seal. Place formed dumplings on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover loosely with a damp paper towel while you form the remaining dumplings.

Make the sauce by combining all ingredients and set aside.

In a large nonstick skillet over low heat, add the vegetable oil and, when hot, add the dumplings and cook until golden brown on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet. Cook the dumplings until wrappers are tender and filling is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. You may need to add a bit of additional stock or water if the liquid has evaporated before the dumplings have finished cooking.

Serve the dumplings hot with the dipping sauce.

We LOVE it.......
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love potstickers and was determined to learn to make them. This recipe was wonderful!!! My entire family loves them. No... one else has had a chance to try them because as soon as I can get them made, they are gone!!! I also made a soup out of the leftover meat once, used all the seasonings of the dipping sauce, and chinese noodles, it was great too. This is definitely a family fave!!!Read more

Excellent Appetizer - or Dinner!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were so good. I made them the other night along with Emeril's pork and cashew stirfry. These were done before the... stir fry and I almost wished I had just made the whole batch at once and eaten these for dinner instead!! I couldn't find plain ground pork, so I used ground turkey (I wasn't in our regular grocery store) and couldn't find the black vinegar for the dipping sauce, so I just used rice wine vinegar. The ginger really adds a nice flavor to the filling. We will definitely be making these again!!Read more

Really good flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We tried making pot stickers for the first time ever and with this recipe they came out a lot better than we anticipated.... They had a really good flavor and they weren't awfully difficult to make. You do need a little bit of patience while you prepare the individual pot stickers but once you get the hang of it the process isn't so bad.Read more
