Pork Potstickers
Better-than-takeout potstickers you can make right at home! With a tender, flavorful pork filling with garlic, ginger and green onions!
We have a lot of travel coming up in September. We are going to San Francisco twice in a month! Once with Butters to make the trip to Yosemite, and another trip to follow the Dodgers vs. Giants for their last in-season games.
So with everything going on, my freezer is packed with all of my favorite potstickers – the veggie filled ones, the chicken filled ones, the shrimp filled ones, and now these pork filled ones!
I know. I love a good potsticker.
And these pork filled ones are bomb – from the abundance of green onions and cilantro to the garlic and ginger, the filling is so flavorful and so tender. To top it off, I drizzle some soy sauce, sesame seeds and green onions. The filling is just so stinkin’ perfect, a dipping sauce is not even needed!
Pork Potstickers
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 ¼ cups green onions, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce, or more, to taste
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 32 3-inch round wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, cilantro, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, chili garlic sauce and sesame oil.*
- To assemble the potstickers, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.*
- Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add potstickers in a single layer and cook until beginning to crisp on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Working quickly, add 1/4 cup water; cover and cook until liquid has evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are crisp and golden, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds, if desired.

This recipe is great! The ONLY thing I added was about a 1/2 cup (a little less) of shredded cabbage.
MAKE THIS!!!
Made these potstickers and they are indeed Damn Delicious! It was a little time intensive the first batch (and maybe they were not as pretty as they could have been), but definitely easier and faster the next few times. Thank you for a recipe that I will use again and again.
Thank you so much for sharing with us, Mike! Glad you liked making these!
These are AMAZING! It’s impossible to only eat a couple. My husband and I ate the all of them in one night! Highly recommend
They’re so good, happy you enjoyed them!
I’m excited to try this recipe. I’ve been making Won Tons and Egg rolls since I was a child. My sons (10 & 12) and I have been making them together for about 6 years now. We make several hundred at a time and freeze them on cookie sheets. Once they are frozen solid we bag them in gallon zip lock bags. We’ve recently added Crab Rangoon as well. On a busy night I can quickly whip up a sweet and sour sauce or another dipping sauce and fry up some of our frozen homemade Won Tons, Egg rolls and Crab Rangoon in my Wok, serve it with a salad and have a quick dinner on the table. I haven’t made pot stickers before, but I’ll give it a shot. If I can buy them frozen at Costco, I can make them and freeze them myself.
Thanks for sharing, Danna!
My son and I made these this weekend and they were delicious!! So easy and didn’t take us that long at all. I could only find square wonton wrappers but we used a cookie cutter to make the circles. We cooked half and froze half. We already are planning on trying different things and making more. Thank you!!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
If you freeze them, do you have to defrost before cooking?
No need to defrost! 🙂
Where can you purchase won ton wrappers? I live in a very small town with basic items. Can you make them?
Most grocery stores should carry them. But yes, there are many DIY recipes available online! 🙂
Your recipes are so awesome!!! Thank you sooooo much for sharing them!!!
We love potstickers, but I’ve always wimped out on making my own. These look too tasty to pass up.
They look delicious! Thank you 🙂
Thanks!
I absolutely love potstickers but they take so much time to make! I’m used to living with my family of five too. Now that it’s just me and my bf, maybe I’ll give it another go. Have you tried to steam them? Thanks for sharing!
I actually haven’t. I hope you get to give these a try! 🙂
