These chicken potstickers are pan-fried dumplings filled with a savory mixture of ground chicken, vegetables, and seasonings. They are crispy on the bottom, tender on the top, and perfect as an appetizer or main dish.
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, napa cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper.
Wet the edge of the wrapper with water and fold into a half-moon shape, pleating the edge to seal tightly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add potstickers in a single layer, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam.
Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until water has evaporated and potstickers are cooked through.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
Serve hot with dipping sauce of choice.
Notes
Make sure the dumpling edges are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
You can freeze uncooked dumplings for later; just cook from frozen, adding a few more minutes to steam time.
Use a non-stick skillet with a tight-fitting lid for best results.
