Ingredients

  • ½ cup carrots grated
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger grated
  • 3 Tbsp. low-salt or salt free soy sauce

  • Add soy sauce, chili paste, rice wine vinegar and hoisen sauce, stirring to coat well.
  • Add cabbage, carrots, ginger and garlic, cooking until soft, about 2 minutes or until liquids have begun to evaporate. Mix needs to be mostly dry as not to soak through the wrappers while filling.
  • Remove mix from heat and stir in cilantro and green onions. Set aside to cool before using.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Fill a small bowl with water and get ready to fill your wrappers.
  • Lay several wrappers out on a flat surface. Place about 1/2 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Do not overfill.
  • To fold, dip your fingers in the water and run around the edge of wrapper. Fold wrapper in half and pinch edges together to close.
  • Repeat this process until you have finished all the wrappers. Set the finished pot stickers, without touching, onto the lined baking sheets.
  • To cook: coat a large skillet with a thin layer of oil and heat over medium heat.
  • Once oil is hot, place pot stickers in skillet, without touching, and cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add a splash of water to the skillet and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Turn heat to low and steam pot stickers for 3 to 5 minutes is using fresh pot stickers ro 6 to 8 minutes if using frozen. Wrappers will be translucent when ready.
  • Transfer pot stickers to a plate and repeat until all are cooked.
  • Serve immediately with the dipping sauce of your choice.
