Pot-Stickers [0000965]

Ingredients:

1 pound ground pork or ground chicken
1 1/2 cups gluten-free dumpling or potsticker wrappers (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups cabbage, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
Cooking oil for frying

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork or chicken, chopped cabbage, minced garlic, minced ginger, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix the filling until it's well combined.

Take a gluten-free dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water.

Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, then pinch and pleat the edges to seal the potsticker. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling until you've made all the potstickers.

Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the potstickers in the skillet, making sure they are not touching each other.

Cook the potstickers for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet, immediately cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Steam the potstickers for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.

Remove the lid and let the potstickers cook for an extra 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms.

Carefully remove the potstickers from the skillet and serve them hot with your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce, such as gluten-free soy sauce mixed with a bit of rice vinegar and chopped green onions.
