Memories with making dumplings:
When talking about potstickers, it brings back my childhood memories that my mom made dumplings all from scratch especially during Chinese New Year. In addition, there are so many different ways to make and cook gyoza. Hence, I am going to share this simple, easy and tasty recipe with you that I have been making it all the time. On the other hand, in 2018 I made over 2400 dumplings to fundraise for my son’s teacher who diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I was glad that I could do it to share my food culture and help other.
Pan Fried Dumplings Cooking Tips:
Besides, personally I like to add ginger and white pepper. However, my kids don’t like spicy stuff. Thus, I put ginger and white pepper as optional in this recipe. Also, don’t worry if you cannot master how to wrap it nice, just practice more and you will get it eventually. Otherwise, use a dumpling maker that will help you as well. Normally, I make a big batch (around 150 pieces) and freeze them, so I can cook them anytime. Also, remember to use a non-stick pan to pan fried dumplings. As the result, not only the dumplings will not stick to the pan, but also has a nice and crunchy bottom.
Ingredients:
Napa cabbage 1 head
Ground pork 2 lbs
Green onions 1/2 cup
Oyster sauce 4 tablespoons
Soy sauce 1 tablespoon
Salt 1/2 teaspoon

Optional:
Ginger 1 teaspoon (fine minced)
White pepper 1/8 teaspoon
Dipping sauce:
Soy sauce 1 tablespoon
Brown sugar 1 teaspoon
Sesame oil 1 teaspoon
Water 1/2 tablespoon
Instructions:
1. Mince napa cabbage (If you have a chopper or food processor, it’s easier)
2. Fine chop green onions
3. Put ground pork, napa cabbage, green onions, salt, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and sesame oils into a mixing bowl and mix them well
4. Use your finger to dip some water and around the dumpling wrapper. Take a side to fold 3 times, like a shell can hold stuff. (See video 1 for how to wrap dumplings. This way is the best for pan fried because it can sit on the pan.)

5. Then, add a teaspoon of filling into the shell shape wrapper (don’t put too much filling)
6. Seal the edge by pressing firm and make sure filing cannot come out
7. Add some oil into a non-stick pan, and put dumplings. After, turn on fire to medium high. Then, add 1 cup water and cover the lid until it boils. Next, turn the fire to medium small for around 5 minutes.
8. After that, open the lid and let the water dry up until the bottom of dumplings are golden brown.
