Ingredients

10 ounce Spinach; chopped
1 pound Ground pork
1/2 cup Green onion; minced
3 tablespoon Fresh cilantro; minced
2 tablespoon Soy sauce
2 tablespoon Dry sherry
1 tablespoon Oriental sesame oil
4 lg Garlic cloves; minced

Directions

1
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped spinach, minced green onion, minced cilantro, soy sauce, dry sherry, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
2
Place one wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
3
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal, creating a crescent shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
4
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable or peanut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
5
Place the pot stickers in the skillet in a single layer, flat side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
6
Carefully pour in enough water to cover about one-third of the height of the dumplings (about 1/4 cup). Immediately cover the skillet with a lid.
7
Reduce heat to medium-low and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.
8
Remove the lid and cook for another minute to crisp the bottoms again if desired. Transfer to serving plates.
9
Serve hot with the sesame soy dipping sauce on the side.
