Ingredients
For the Potsticker Filling:
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried ginger
- 5 - 6 green onions plus 2 more green onions for garnish, trimmed and sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons tamari sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine
- 4 heads napa cabbage roughly chopped
For the Potsticker Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 3/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
For the Rice Bowl Base:
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce:
- Add the tamari, sugar, seasoned rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes to a small bowl and stir them together. Set aside.
Prepare the Rice:
- Cook 1 1/2 cups of jasmine rice to make 3 cups cooked rice.
Cook the Pork Filling:
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and let it warm through for a minute before adding the ground pork. Sprinkle the pepper over the pork and cook it, crumbling it as it browns.
- Once the pork is no longer pink, add the dried ginger, chopped green onions, tamari, and rice wine. Stir to combine. Add the cabbage to the skillet and cook until it has softened, about 4 - 5 minutes.
- Pour the dumpling sauce into the skillet and stir. Cook for 30 seconds or until the garlic is fragrant.
Assemble the Bowls:
- Spoon 3/4 cup of cooked rice into four bowls. Top with a cup of the pork filling. Scrape all the sauce from the pan evenly over the dishes. Garnish with additional sliced green onions as desired.
