Instructions
Combine the ground pork together with the green onions, chopped cilantro, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic paste, and sesame oil in a large bowl; mix until well combined.
Spoon a tablespoon of the pork mixture into the center of the potsticker wrapper.
Wet the top of each potsticker wrap with your fingers or a baster brush dipped in water.
Fold the potsticker to make a moon shape and pinch shut with 4 to 5 pleats along the side. Really make sure they are sealed, so the filling doesn’t fall out.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan. Once hot, add the potstickers and cook until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 3-4 tablespoons of water and cover with a lid. Steam for 3-5 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated and the bottoms are crisp and golden; remove from pan to a serving tray. Repeat with the remainder of potstickers and oil.
Place on a plate and drizzle with a bit of soy sauce and chili oil, to taste, then sprinkle the top with fresh cilantro and toasted sesame seeds.
