Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 recipe gluten free Won Ton Wrappers
- 1/4 cup tamari or gluten free soy sauce (plus more for serving)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger ( or use 1 1/2 teaspoons ground)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh or freeze-dried scallions/green onions (white and green parts)
- 1 cup finely chopped raw cabbage
- 1 pound ground chicken or pork
- Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
- 4 tablespoons neutral oil (like grapeseed, canola, peanut, or vegetable oil) (plus more as necessary, for sautéing)
- Lukewarm water (for cooking)
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the won ton wrappers according to the recipe instructions, shaping them into rounds about 3-inches in diameter.
- 2
In a medium-size bowl, place the tamari or soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and scallions, and mix to combine well. Add the cabbage, and mix again to combine. Add the ground chicken or pork, and mix gently to combine.
- 3
Arrange the prepared won ton wrappers on a flat, lined surface (plastic wrap or parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet works well), and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
- 4
Using a pastry brush, brush the edges of each wrapper lightly with the egg wash, then fold the wrapper over on itself to cover the filling.
- 5
Pinch the edges to seal the dumpling closed, gently pressing out any trapped air as you go. (See Recipe Notes for make-ahead instructions.)
- 6
To a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat about 2 tablespoons of the neutral oil until rippling. Place as many dumplings as will fit comfortably in a single layer in the hot oil.
- 7
Sauté until the potstickers are golden and crisp on the underside, about 1 minute.
- 8
Working quickly, add about 1/4 cup of lukewarm water to the hot pan, or enough so that it rises about 1/4 of the way up the side of the potstickers and cover the pan immediately. Allow the dumplings to continue to cook for about 5 minutes, or until they’re cooked through.
- 9
Uncover the skillet, and continue to cook until the water has evaporated by about half and the dumplings are crisp-tender (about another minute). Remove them from the pan to a paper towel-lined plate, and repeat with the remaining potstickers.

Serve immediately, with more tamari for dipping.
