I made this dish a little while ago for babe and there was a lot of commentary around the name of this dish. Yes, you can call them dumplings, gyozas or momos but the term potsticker (or pot stick) is the literal translation of the Chinese word for this style of dumpling. Enough about that, let’s start cooking these delicious bad boys.

Recipe
The below amounts make enough mix for two packets of dumpling wrappers. This recipe will make enough dumplings for eight adults.
Ingredients
- 500g pork mince (not lean!)
- 1/2 wombok cabbage
- 1 tbsp soy souse
- 1 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt (plus more for the cabbage)
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 spring onions
- Thumb sized piece of ginger
- 2 packets of dumpling wrappers
- Oil for frying
- 3 tsp flour for the lace
Method
1. Start by cutting your cabbage finely and seasoning it well with salt, set aside for 30 minutes.
2. After 30 minutes, rinse the cabbage and water and squeeze out as much water as you can from it.
3. Grate your ginger and garlic very fine on a microplane.
4. Slice your spring onions very fine as well.
5. Mix everything for the dumpling mix together.
6. Fold your dumplings the same way as shown in the video.
7. To create the lace, add half a cup of water with 3 tsp of all-purpose flour and use this to steam the dumplings once you have good colour on the bottom.
