Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, cabbage, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix until well blended.
Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold in half, and seal tightly with pleats or by pressing.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add dumplings flat-side down in a single layer and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
Carefully pour in 1/2 cup water and immediately cover the pan. Steam for 6-8 minutes until water evaporates.
Uncover and cook for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili flakes or oil (if using), and sugar to make the dipping sauce.
Serve potstickers hot with dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Can substitute chicken with turkey, pork, or vegetarian fillings like mushrooms and tofu.

Freeze uncooked dumplings on a tray before storing in bags for easy meal prep.

Reheat leftovers by pan-frying or steaming directly from frozen.

Can be steamed or boiled for a different texture.
