Pork and Chive Potstickers

Pork and Chive Potstickers are delightful dumplings filled with seasoned ground pork and fresh chives, offering a perfect balance of flavors. These healthy potstickers are lightly pan-fried to achieve a crispy bottom, making them an irresistible addition to your dinner table.

Ingredients

• Ground pork - 200 grams
• Fresh chives - 50 grams, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Dumpling wrappers - 20 pieces
• Water - 100 ml for steaming
• Cooking oil - 1 tablespoon for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped chives, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it in half, and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Heat the cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the potstickers in a single layer, making sure they do not touch.
4. Cook the potstickers for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
5. Carefully add the water to the skillet and cover immediately to steam the potstickers for about 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
6. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes to crisp the bottoms before serving.
