Cultural Context

Potsticker dumplings, known as Jiaozi in China, have a rich history dating back over 1,800 years. Traditionally served during the Lunar New Year, they symbolize wealth and prosperity due to their resemblance to ancient gold ingots. Today, potstickers are enjoyed worldwide, often found in Chinese restaurants and home kitchens alike, celebrated for their crispy bottoms and tender fillings.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.

Mix the filling until well combined.

6

Divide the rested dough into small pieces and roll each into a thin circle.

7

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle.

8

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, creating pleats if desired.

9

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Arrange the dumplings in the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden, about 3-4 minutes.

11

Add water to the skillet, cover, and steam the dumplings until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the lid and cook until the water evaporates and the bottoms crisp up again, about 2 minutes.
