Homemade pot stickers are so versatile--you can fill them with anything you want and as full as you want. And the play between the crispy, crusty bottom, and the tender parts, makes for a truly unique dumpling. These are filled with ground pork, green onions, ginger, and cabbage.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

Place ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a mixing bowl.

Top with chopped green cabbage.

Mix with fork until thoroughly combined.

Tamp down lightly; cover with plastic.

Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour.

Place flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl.

Slowly pour in hot water.

Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a shaggy dough.

Flour your hands and transfer dough to a work surface.

Knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.

If dough seems too sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Wrap dough ball in plastic, and let it rest about 30 minutes.

When dough has rested, divide into 4 equal pieces.

Cover 3 pieces with a dish cloth while you work the first piece.

Roll into a small log about the thickness of a thumb, about 3/4 inch.

Divide each log into 6 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a thin 3 1/2-inch circle on a lightly floured surface to form the pot sticker wrappers.

Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.

Lightly moisten the edges of a wrapper with your wet finger.

Place a small scoop of the ground pork mixture onto the center of a wrapper.

Fold up the 2 sides and pinch together in the center.

Pinch together the remaining edges, forming "pleats" along one side.

Tap the pot sticker on the work surface to slightly flatten the bottom; form a slight curve in it so it stands upright in the pan.

Transfer to a well-floured plate.

Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Mix together seasoned rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl for the dipping sauce.

Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat.

Place about 6 or 7 pot stickers in the hot oil, flat side down.

Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Drizzle in water and quickly cover the pan; steam for 3 minutes.

Uncover; reduce heat to medium.

Continue cooking until water evaporates and bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 minutes.

Transfer to a warm serving dish.

Repeat with remaining pot stickers.

Serve with dipping sauce.
