Ingredients

• 1/2 lb ground pork

• 1 cup Napa cabbage, finely chopped and squeezed dry

• 2 scallions, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp ginger, minced

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 1 tsp rice vinegar

• 1 tsp sugar

• 1 package dumpling wrappers (round or square, about 40 wrappers)

Directions

• In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, cabbage, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
• Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center.
• Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
• Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal tightly. You can pleat the edges if you like.
• Repeat until all filling and wrappers are used.
• To steam: place dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment or cabbage leaves. Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes.
• To boil: gently drop dumplings into boiling water. Cook until they float to the top and continue boiling for 2-3 minutes more.
• To pan-fry: heat 1-2 tablespoons oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Arrange dumplings flat side down. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes. Remove lid and cook another 1-2 minutes to crisp the bottoms.
• Serve hot with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

• Drain cabbage well to avoid soggy filling.
• Dumplings freeze great uncooked—freeze on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag.
• Use ground chicken or tofu for a different twist

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb ground pork (or chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a vegetarian option)

• 2 cups finely chopped Napa cabbage or regular cabbage

• 3 scallions, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp ginger, grated

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 1 tsp sugar

• 1 package round dumpling wrappers (about 40)

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine ground meat (or tofu), cabbage, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Mix well.
• Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center.
• Moisten the edges with water, fold in half, and pinch the edges to seal tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Arrange pot stickers in a single layer, flat side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
• Carefully pour in 1/2 cup water and cover the skillet immediately to steam the pot stickers.
• Cook for about 5 minutes until water evaporates and wrappers become tender.
• Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again if needed.
• Serve hot with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

• Don’t overfill the dumplings to avoid bursting during cooking.
• If you want extra crispiness, increase the initial frying time before steaming.
• Pot stickers freeze well — freeze uncooked on a baking sheet, then transfer to a bag and cook straight from frozen.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

• 3½ tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 1¼ cups milk

• 1 large egg

• 3 tbsp melted butter or oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

• Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
• Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
• Make the batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix—the batter should be a little lumpy.
• Cook pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
• Serve: Stack pancakes on plates and top with your favorite syrup, fruit, or butter.

Notes

• For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest 5–10 minutes before cooking.
• Add-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts can be folded into the batter before cooking.
• To keep pancakes warm while finishing the batch, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F or 90°C).
• Leftovers reheat well in the toaster or microwave.
