Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 2 cups finely chopped cabbage
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 40 round dumpling wrappers
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
2. Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the filling mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper in half, forming a half-moon shape. Pleat and seal the edges to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the pot stickers in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch. Pour the mixture into the skillet and cover immediately.
5. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the pot stickers are cooked through and the wrappers are slightly translucent. Remove the cover and cook for 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms.
6. Serve the fried pot stickers hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
