Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced, green and white parts separated
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. finely grated peeled ginger
  • 2 tsp. fish sauce optional
  • 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
  • All-purpose flour for dusting
  • 60 dumpling wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying
Dipping Sauce
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix pork, egg, white scallion parts, garlic, broth, soy sauce, ginger, fish sauce (if using), and sesame oil.
  2. Line a small baking sheet with parchment. Lightly dust with flour.
  3. Place 4 dumpling wrappers on a clean surface; keep remaining wrappers covered with a clean kitchen towel. Place a heaping tsp. pork filling just below center on each wrapper. Wet the edge of wrapper with water. Fold top half over bottom half and pinch borders to seal. Alternatively, pleat dumplings by making small folds starting on one edge and ending on the other, pinching firmly to seal after each fold. Place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil. Add dumplings in an even layer, sealed side up. (Touching is okay!) Fry until underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Put a cover on the pan and steam the pot stickers for 1-2 minutes. Remove and serve.
Dipping Sauce
  1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, and reserved green scallion parts.
  2. Serve pot stickers with dipping sauce on the side.
