Start by preparing a large bowl for mixing.

Add pork mince into the bowl.

Chop raw prawn finely and add it to the bowl.

Finely chop Chinese cabbage and green shallots, then add them to the bowl.

Add some oil, oyster sauce, and soy sauce to the bowl.

Mix all ingredients quickly until combined and soft.

Take a goji wrapper and place a heaped teaspoon of the mixture in the center.

Wet the edges of the wrapper with water using a clean finger.

Press from the center of the wrapper outward to seal.

Pinch the edges to secure the filling inside the wrapper.

Repeat the process until all filling is used, making about 60 potstickers.

Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

Add the potstickers to the pan and fry until the bottoms are browned, about a few minutes.

Add half a cup of water to the pan and cover with a lid.

Steam the potstickers for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through.

Serve with soy sauce.
