instructions
    1

    Start by making the dough. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 3/4 cup of water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a bowl, combine 1 pound of ground pork with 1 cup of finely chopped cabbage, 3 chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Mix well to combine.

    3

    Once the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.

    4

    Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

    5

    Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the pot stickers in the skillet without crowding.

    6

    Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully pour in 1 cup of water and cover with a lid. Steam for 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated.

    7

    Remove the lid and let them cook for another minute to allow the bottoms to crisp up. Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
