Potstickers. Gyoza. You might as well call them what they really are.. delicious and addictive! Once you’ve had homemade you won’t be able to eat the frozen ones anymore! They are much easier than you think. They can be really fun for kids to help make too. You can make them with ground pork, turkey, or chicken as well. Just make sure you use a leaner meat. And green cabbage would work well too. But my girls loved the purpley color of the filling!

Beef and Cabbage Potstickers
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium carrot, finely grated
1/4 small head red cabbage, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ginger powder
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
2 packages round wonton wrappers
For cooking:
Oil
Water
In a large mixing bowl mix everything together until well combined.
Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of a wrapper. Dip your fingers in water and wet the edges of wrapper.
Press together close to the filling, pleating one side if desired.
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Place on a cookie sheet covered with a damp paper towel as you work.
Heat 1 T oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. (You just want to barely coat the bottom of the pan, no pooling or excessive oil).
Lay flat side of potstickers down, in a single layer in skillet. Cook for 2 minutes uncovered.
Pour 1/3 cup water into skillet, cover, and turn heat to medium. Cook for 3 minutes.
Uncover, and let all the liquid cook off, then repeat with remaining potstickers.
