Fried Pork Potstickers
Method
Preparation and Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare Filling
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- 2
Fill Wrappers
Take a potsticker wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it in half, and press to seal. Make pleats along the edge for a decorative touch if desired. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Cook Potstickers
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potstickers in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Steam Potstickers
Add water to the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Allow the potstickers to steam for about 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated and the potstickers are cooked through.

Serve
Remove the lid and let the potstickers cook for an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
