People worried about dying from under-cooked pork, listen up. First of all, these days, you have an incredibly tiny chance of getting sick from eating under-cooked pork. It's a proven fact that eating a salad is far more dangerous. So relax. I've actually eaten pork tataki, where just the outside was seared, and the inside was raw, and it was fine. Having said all that, the small portion (less than 1 ounce) we put in the dumpling is way past fully cooked after the frying, steaming (which is intensely hot), and the second frying. I'll never understand why people are so terrified of under-cooked pork. Ask someone who works in an emergency room the last time they had someone with a case of pork poisoning rushed in. They'll be like, what?

[@kdoran709]

Food Wishes PREACH

[@thetoddsmith]

Food Wishes Yup! I remember one of my instructors in culinary school saying the exact same thing. The same people will also say perfect scrambled eggs are "undercooked."

[@tadmore254]

Food Wishes what I remember wasn't that you'd be poisoned but that you'd get worms from the under cooked pork- but it is quite possible that this is no longer the issue it was back in the olden days say before 1995 -haha

[@GageSmiff]

AMEN!!!

[@LiogCeartas]

+food wishes Did you use lean pork? I made these before and when it cooked, a ton of fat pooled into the dumpling.

[@SCTyler]

Made these for the first time and they came out perfect. I added my chili oil to the soy sauce and sesame oil along with some brown sugar. My hubby said”Move Over P.F. Chang’s.” He always loved P.F. Chang’s potstickers so this is the best compliment. Thanks Chef for another great recipe.

[@Ebbie08]

Some tips: Add water to your ground pork first, mix until well mixed and bouncy. This makes the pork super tender. This tip came from my grandpa with a lifetime of experience. Add salt to your cabbage. Give it some time. Use cheesecloth or a tea towel, wrap some in there and squeeze the moisture out. It’ll make the cabbage more crunchy in your potstickers. Yum. When rolling out your dough to become wrappers, if you’re more advanced, don’t roll the middle. Leave a “pillow” so you can roll the outside thinner and it won’t break as easily. Don’t use the rollers with handles. Like Chef John said use a roller with circumference of a broom handle. You can find these at any Chinese grocery/kitchen stores.

[@JustNatax3]

Alice Li I'm doing the same with the cabbage! :) and yesss! roll just the edges real fine and make the lucky 18 folds!

[@artemonstrick]

can confirm the "add water to the meat" technique. Haven't tried draining the cabbage.

[@ndbd9drn]

My grandma also added a bit of cornstarch along with the water

[@vickiesmith6207]

I think I know, But why no cutting the broomstick if you are married? Hum?

[@shinniex]

My chef uncle adds oil and water to make the meat tender and he's extremely great at churning out little pillow wrappers.

[@ThirdOfJune4444]

The TV show "Supergirl" brought me here. Living in Maritimes Canada, I never heard of potstickers before. Looks so good! Thank you for showing these easy steps.

[@1212puppielover]

after you cut up the cabbage, throw it in a ziploc bag with a little salt and shake it! it softens the cabbage and removes moisture so it binds better with the meat!

Man, I made these last night. And they were quite literally the best pot stickers I've ever had. And I've had some awesome pot stickers. Mine were no where near as pretty as chef John's. In fact, I made mine about twice the size. Although I thought I'd made the pastry lumpy, the 30-minute rest made it as smooth as silk and easy to work with. Gosh I can't say how delicious these were. Way better than any restaurant I've been to.

[@adrianlindsaylohan]

This is a good recipe. Here are some other things my family adds to our filling: sugar (to balance the saltiness of the soy sauce) white pepper (to give the fillling a bit of a bite) rice wine (to both moisten the filling and give smoother flavor) cornstarch slurry (to give the filling a bouncier and more juicy mouthfeel).

[@koalitycooking2782]

[@maplebones]

Try pure maple syrup instead of sugar. It's great anytime you want sweet, salty, and spicy hot. Great in salad dressings too.

[@HiddenSunny]

In Korea, the dipping sauce is made using vinegar, soy sauce and (white) sugar, with additional flavourings such as minced ginger, spring onions, white onions and chili depending on how spicy you like your food, and the mandu/potstickers have other ingredients in them like rice noodles and tofu to really give them body and to balance out the intense flavours of the sauce and/or filling. It's actually pretty interesting to see how the different EAsians make the same dish, because they each have their own twist to the flavours.

[@mamacrafts6211]

Yummy! Thanks Chef John. I make Gyoza all the time, with pre-made wrappers as well as homemade like yours. For those worried about under cooked pork: I have boiled these dumplings (with homemade wrappers) until they float, then drain on a rack til slighly dry 15 minutes then you can pan fry to crispy. Personally I let the boiled dumplings cool then freeze in ziploc bag for frying later. I like the chewy texture it produces. I add water and potato starchor flour to meat mixture as well as an egg. I also blanch my cabbage or bean sprouts, squeeze excess water first. I hand stir in one direction until mixed well. Don't know why that works but I Saw that on a Japanese cooking show. It comes out very moist and delicious!

Hi Chef John, I've been watching your KZbin channel for years now, but have never commented until now. My husband and children compelled me to write and thank you for this amazing recipe. We live in a small town near Barcelona and really miss the Chinese food we could get in the US. So, making these incredibly wonderful potstickers made my day. FYI, I used buttifara instead of ground pork...it's a little spicier in one batch. In the other, I used ground chicken and turkey mixture for my daughter and her boyfriend, as they do not eat red meat. Both potstickers came out better than PF Chang's in the US. So on behalf of my family many thanks to you for thus recipe. If you ever are inclined, we would love your recipe for "honey walnut prawns with garnish of honey dew melon." I am determined to make that too. One of your favorite fans, Terry

Same here I have a Chinese restaurant that's a buffet and you can do take out I found a loop hole. Well they get upset. When I go in and there's only like 6 there ill wait for them to bring out another tray. Well the messed with thier recipe they made the filling 50 percent so I can shake the dumpling and the little ball of meat moves. They are like you only get 1 thing if you call and pay 7.99$ for 8. I'm like no that's not fair. So I got to go to the buffet when they hopefully have more than 6 in the pan. Cause I know the second batch is not dumplings. It's dough

I tried these for the second time. The first time I made the dough myself and could not get it thin enough. This time, I went with some commercial wonton wrappers and could not believe how well they turned out. They looked absolutely beautiful and just like what you would get handmade in a restaurant. What made them stand out, and made them worth the work, was the succulent filling. I used some lovely ground pork from my friends’ farm, and then followed the rest of the ingredients as per the amount of pork that I had. The proportions were perfect. I think the last time I had a little bit too much meat for the vegetables and seasoning. This time it was spot on. This recipe made enough for about 40 dumplings. I had a feast and then froze the rest uncooked to enjoy later.

Quick dough processing question - Would it matter if you rolled out a huge sheet of dough and cut circles out? Seems easier than rolling them all individually.

[@aurascae]

Try flattening each small piece of dough a little bit then rotating the circle as you roll out the edges (its confusing) but it's more evenly flattened. The thing you mentioned might work, but the sheet of dough has to be very very very thin.

[@funkiebutch9690]

You can do that with the dough, but I think the main reason people cut it into small pieces before roll is to avoid the dough becomes dry and form outer layer skin. I guess you can just put it back in damp towel while filling the dumplings. You can always boil it but chef john wants to steam it to get the crust on the bottom.

[@peterpawinski4914]

I started doing these today using the "roll each little ball of dough" method out, but then just said, ah, screw this, and rolled a few big sheets out and cut them with a glass like I do when I've made pierogi. I really didn't see or taste any difference between rolling them out individually vs rolling them out in bulk and using a glass or cookie cutter. If anything, the glass-cut ones looked much better and were easier to deal with, as they were all uniformly sized circles.

Hey chef john! This is such a great dumpling recipe, I'm actually going to adopt your dumpling folding method for when I teach my friends. My family does the filling with a bit of sweet bean paste (tianmian jiang) and yellow bean paste (huang jiang) and we dip with only Chinese black vinegar! You should try it out. It makes the dumpling filling more savoury and salty, therefore needing the extra acidity of the super sour vinegar.

Chef,I was very impressed with your handiwork, as always, but, if I might, could I offer a couple of tips based upon thirty years of watching my beautiful wife make the best gyoza ever?1. Instead of green onion in the mixture, use garlic chives, very finely minced...you'll have a much better texture and flavor.2. Substitute ground fresh shrimp for one third of the pork...it will still be 'pork' dumplings, but will taste much better...3. Less soy sauce in the mix, but use a little salt instead.4. If you use cabbage instead of hakusai (Chinese cabbage), mince it very finely and sauté it a bit to release some of the liquid before incorporating it...you'll get a better texture and flavor.5. You're right to go easy on the sesame oil in the mix, but add a drop or two of hot sesame oil to the dipping sauce...it will be much better.Thanks for putting up with my insolence...

[@lauracunningham2645]

chokkan7 - lol insolence? Chef John would never think that. I believe he tries to keep ingredients down to a more achievable level for the average viewer. I grow garlic chives, so no problem; but ground shrimp and Chinese wine (as others suggested) are tougher to come by when you don't live metro. I know, as I have. But we all appreciate the suggestions and modifications. Thank you! Just FYI Anyone: Pastry chefs use the 8" no handle wooden rolling pins and they are available lots of places now. They're good for crushing and bruising, too.

chokkan7 I have a favorite video from a Chinese restaurant. There is no recipe nor written measurements. I made the recipe once, and it was fabulous! The second time, I must have missed the proper measurements. Would you please help me? I can pay for your help via PayPal.

I love dumplings and I don't mind making the dough fresh by hand it's the folding and pinching I'm not happy doing so I cheated and purchased a dumpling maker with a rolling cutter and never looked back. Thank you chef John for all your patience folding and pinching.

if you don't want to overmix the meat, why not mix all the other ingredients separately before adding them to the meat? It seems like that would cut down the amount you work the meat by a lot.

Not a bad idea.

Chinese buffet food is my absolute favorite stuff to eat. I can eat this food everyday. I loved your crab rangoon video. Thank you!

Excellent recipe! Better than my first two attempts at making my own. I made your version with Napa cabbage. The sesame oil made all the difference! They were delicious!
