Not only are these potstickers delicious, but they are also brilliantly arranged for cooking and flipping onto a plate for perfect presentation. They are filled with shrimp, ground pork, thinly sliced green beans and finely chopped cabbage and freeze easily so you can have a wonderful snack in minutes.

Print Recipe

Makes 30-50 (depending on amt of filling you put in potstickers)

Ingredients

¼ lbs shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped into ¼" pieces
⅓ lb ground pork
⅓ lb napa cabbage, finely chopped
¼ lb green beans, lightly blanched (to remove rawness) and finely chopped
2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce for pork mixture
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tsp kosher salt and extra for cabbage
1/8 tsp white pepper, or to taste
1 tsp soy sauce for shrimp marinade
1 tsp Chinese rice wine for shrimp marinade
1-2 pkgs dumpling wrappers (very thin, round, white flour wrappers)

How-to

In a large bowl, liberally salt cabbage, mix thoroughly and set aside for 10-15 minutes while you prepare other ingredients
In a small bowl, mix chopped shrimp with rice wine and a little soy sauce and set aside for 2-3 minutes
Over a colander in the sink, work in handfuls to squeeze the any excess water the salted cabbage has released, and transfer to a large mixing bowl
Combine with the cabbage the pork, shrimp, green beans, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly, until well combined. Rest 10-15 minutes
Place a small portion (about one level tablespoon) of the filling into the middle of each wrapper. Wet the perimeter of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling into a half moon shape, crimping one half of the wrapper while pinching the edges to seal. (Note: fresh dumpling wrappers dry out easily, while wrapping the dumpling, keep a damp paper towel over the wrappers to prevent dryness and cracking)
Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to a skillet and heat until very hot. Place dumplings in a single layer and fry for two minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Add ½ cup water, cover immediately and cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Invert onto a plate and serve immediately

These look SOOO tasty!! Lilly always makes everything look so easy ;-) I love the lighter version of "pan toasting" the spring rolls. I've tried frying them in shallow oil, but the pan toasting is much healthier. I've also tried baking them (yuck). I also love the use of the broccoli stalks as most people end up discarding them, which is a shame especially when they're organic. Can't wait to try these!
