Ingredients
- 20 Wonton wrappers (can make or buy, use regular or gluten free)
Filling
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 1/4 tsp Ginger powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Pink himalayan salt
- 1/4 cup Coconut aminos
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1/2 cup Cabbage (finely chopped)
Instructions

- Place the pot stickers in a sear for 2 - 3 minutes. Flip and do the same thing to the other side.
- Add 1 - 1 1/2 cups of water to the pan and cover.
- Let simmer 5-10 minutes until cooked through and the pork reaches a temperature of 160f.
- Dip in your favorite sauce. We like coconut aminos.
Notes
Freeze before cooking: After folding, freeze flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 2 hours until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Cook straight from frozen — sear 3–4 minutes, steam covered for 10–12 minutes until pork reaches 160°F.
Don't overfill: 1 teaspoon of filling per wrapper. Overfilling makes sealing difficult and dumplings burst during cooking.
Seal completely: Wet the full edge before folding and press firmly along the entire seam. Any gap will open in the pan.
Internal temperature: Pork filling must reach 160°F — use an instant-read thermometer on one of the larger dumplings.
Gluten-free option: Use GF wonton wrappers. Everything else is naturally gluten-free.
Naturally soy-free and dairy-free as written with coconut aminos.
