Description
Crispy-bottomed, juicy-inside chicken potstickers filled with savory ground chicken and Napa cabbage—perfect for an appetizer, main dish, or make-ahead freezer snack.
Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1 lb circular dumpling wrappers
2 cups Napa cabbage, chopped
1 tsp salt
4 green onions, sliced
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 inch ginger, minced
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp oyster sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp chicken bouillon
1 tsp white pepper
Dumpling dipping sauce (to serve)
Additional sliced green onions (to serve)
Toasted sesame seeds (to serve)
Instructions
- Toss chopped Napa cabbage with salt and let sit 10 minutes. Rinse and squeeze out moisture.
- In a bowl, combine chicken, drained cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, chicken bouillon, and white pepper. Pan-fry a small piece to taste test.
- Keep wrappers covered. Wet the edge, add filling to the center, fold and pleat the edges, sealing well.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium with oil. Add dumplings flat side down; sear 2 minutes until golden. Add water to just cover base, cover, and steam for 5 minutes.
- To freeze, place uncooked dumplings on a lined tray. Freeze solid, then store in bags.
- Serve hot with dipping sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Pan-fry a test dumpling to adjust seasoning before folding the rest.
- Use a damp towel to prevent wrappers and dumplings from drying out.
- Freezing makes them perfect for meal prep—cook directly from frozen.
- For extra crisp, uncover in the last minute of steaming to let moisture evaporate.
