Homemade Potstickers Recipe (Super Crispy)
Crispy homemade pork and cabbage potstickers with juicy filling, pan-fried to golden perfection—an easy dumpling recipe that’s better than takeout.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 4 leaves napa cabbage, finely chopped
- 2 scallion, chopped
- 3 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tsp dark soy sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp white pepper
- neutral oil , for frying
Cornstarch Slurry for Crispy Bottom
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp all purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix pork, cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, white pepper, until well combined.
- Place a wrapper in your palm or on a cutting board. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center. Dip your finger in water and wet the edge of the wrapper. Fold in half and pinch the side edges to seal.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1–2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Arrange dumplings flat-side down without overcrowding. Cook until bottoms turn golden brown (about 2–3 minutes).
- In a small bowl, mix water, cornstarch, and all purpose flour. Carefully add the cornstarch slurry to the pan. Immediately cover with a lid and steam for 5–6 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
- Remove the lid and let remaining water evaporate. Cook another 1–2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
- Serve hot with your favorite dumpling sauce, and enjoy!
