Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80-85% lean)
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Assembly & Cooking Ingredients

  • 30 potsticker wrappers (thin, round dough pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/3 cup water (for steaming)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, shredded cabbage, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix everything thoroughly until well blended, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  2. Assemble the Potstickers: Place a potsticker wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about one tablespoon of filling into the center. Dampen the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half, pressing the edges tightly to seal. Pinch or pleat the edges to create a beautiful dumpling shape that holds during cooking.
  3. Cook the Potstickers: Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange potstickers flat side down in the pan, ensuring they don’t touch. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
  4. Steam to Finish: Carefully pour water into the pan—enough to come about one-third up the sides of the potstickers—and cover immediately with a lid. Allow them to steam for 5-7 minutes until the water evaporates and the filling is fully cooked.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate while keeping the potstickers crisp. Plate them up with your favorite dipping sauce, and get ready to enjoy The Juiciest Beef Potstickers Recipe at its best.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill: Too much filling makes sealing difficult and can cause bursting during cooking.
  • Use cold filling: Chill the mixture slightly for easier handling and better texture.
  • Seal tightly: Ensure the edges are well moistened and pressed to avoid leaks.
  • Adjust heat carefully: Medium-high works best to crisp the base without burning, followed by gentle steaming.
  • Serve immediately: Potstickers are best enjoyed fresh; crisp and juicy won’t last long!
