Ingredients

1 lb ground pork
2 green onions thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon chili paste
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 package wonton wrappers
1 cup water (for dipping your fingers into when sealing the homemade dumplings.)

Instructions

Slice the onions and mince the garlic.
Lightly mix all of the ingredients together (except the wonton wrappers). Don't over-mix, just make sure everything is combined.
Place wonton wrapper on board or baking sheet. Have a cup of water nearby.
Place one teaspoon of mixture in the center of the wrapper. Dip your finger into the water bowl and run it around the edge of the wrapper.
Fold the edges together and seal. Set finished Pot Stickers aside. Crimp edges if desired. Complete the process with the remaining potsticker wrappers.
Find a pot your bamboo steamer will fit in. Fill with about two inches of water. Turn on high and bring to a boil.
*While the water is coming to a boil, line the bamboo steamer with lettuce or kale leaves. Set the pot stickers on the lettuce. Do not overcrowd.
Steam for 15-20 minutes until the pot stickers are cooked. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, enjoy!

Notes

It's best not to overfill the pot stickers or they will burst when cooking. Depending on how large you fill them, this recipe makes 36-40 pot stickers.
