Ingredients

Scale

1 package dumpling wrappers (about 20 pieces)
1 cup ground pork (or chicken/tofu)
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 cup water (for steaming)
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

Prepare the filling by mixing ground pork, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
Place about one tablespoon of filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten edges with water, fold over to form a half-moon shape, and pinch to seal.
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pot stickers flat-side down and cook until golden brown (3-4 minutes).
Carefully add water to the skillet, cover immediately to steam for about 5-6 minutes until cooked through.
Serve with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
