Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Assemble the potstickers: Lay out the potsticker wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of the chicken filling into the center of each wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold it in half to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges together to seal. Optionally, pleat the edges for a decorative look.
Pan-fry the potstickers: Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the potstickers in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Steam the potstickers: Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan and cover with a lid. Allow the potstickers to steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the potstickers are cooked through.
Serve: Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottom again. Transfer to a serving plate and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili oil, or a mixture of soy sauce and rice vinegar.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, use a plant-based meat substitute or a combination of finely chopped vegetables like mushrooms, carrots, and cabbage.

For extra spice, add chili paste or finely chopped chili peppers to the filling.

Air-fry the dumplings at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes for a healthier option.
