Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • Wonton or gyoza wrappers
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Clean surface
  • large pot
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, cabbage, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  2. Place a wonton or gyoza wrapper on a clean surface. Scoop about 1-2 tbsp of the pork mixture into the center. Fold the wrapper in half and crimp the edges to seal, creating a half-moon shape.
  3. In a large pot, bring the broth and water to a simmer over medium heat. Gently add the potstickers and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the filling is cooked through.
  4. Stir in the rice vinegar and sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions.

Notes

The key to a perfect Potsticker Soup is in the balance of flavors and textures. The broth must be rich and savory, the potstickers tender yet crisp, and the overall dish a harmonious blend of umami, acidity, and subtle sweetness. For best results, use freshly made wonton or gyoza wrappers and adjust the seasoning to your taste.
