Ingredients

16 Ounces Napa cabbage, finely shredded
2 Ounces fresh cilantro, chopped
1 Teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
4 Chopped scallions
1 Finely chopped clove garlic
16 Wonton wrappers
1 /2 ounces vegetable oil
1 Bottle ponzu sauce, for dipping
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, toasted
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1
Place the shredded Napa cabbage in a large bowl and toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to release excess water.
2
Squeeze the cabbage firmly to remove as much liquid as possible, then return it to the bowl.
3
Add the chopped cilantro, ginger, garlic, scallions, and toasted sesame oil to the cabbage. Mix well to combine.
4
Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1/2 ounce of the cabbage mixture into the center of the wrapper.
5
Moisten a finger with water and rub it along the edges of the wrapper to create a seal.
6
Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal out air.
7
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
8
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
9
Place the potstickers in the hot oil in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
10
Remove from heat and serve immediately with ponzu sauce for dipping.

Note

If the cabbage mixture feels too wet after squeezing, you can add a little more sesame oil or garlic to balance the flavor and texture.

To prevent the wrappers from drying out while assembling, keep them covered with a damp cloth.

For a softer texture, you can steam the potstickers for 3 minutes before frying them in oil for crispiness.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a little oil to restore crispiness.
