Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, coleslaw mix, chopped green onions, garlic paste, ginger paste, soy sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper.
2
Using your hands, mix all the filling ingredients together until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
3
In a small bowl, prepare the dipping sauce by combining soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, garlic chili paste, chopped scallions, sliced fresh chili, and water.
4
Stir the dipping sauce until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
5
Lay out a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center.
6
Using the back of a spoon, smash and spread the filling evenly over the entire surface of the wonton wrapper, reaching all the edges. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
7
Preheat a large griddle or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place the dumplings meat-side down onto the hot surface.
8
Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the pork is seared and has developed a nice crust.
9
Lightly spray the top (wrapper side) of the dumplings with cooking spray.
10
Flip the dumplings and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the wrapper side is golden brown and crispy.
11
Remove from the griddle and serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Press the filling firmly onto the wonton wrapper so it stays attached during pan-frying and creates a crispy, cohesive crust.
Use medium-high heat and avoid stirring; let the first side develop a golden-brown crust before flipping for maximum crispness.
Cook the filling to 160°F internal temperature before serving to ensure food safety; check by carefully opening one dumpling.
For extra flavor, add 1 tbsp sesame oil to the filling mixture and serve dumplings with a mix of soy sauce and rice vinegar for dipping.

Substitutions

Ground pork → ground chicken or turkey (reduce cooking time by 1–2 minutes; flavor will be milder)
Coleslaw mix → shredded cabbage and carrots (adjust for moisture; squeeze excess water before mixing)
Wonton wrappers → gyoza skins (slightly thicker; add 1–2 minutes cooking time)
Soy sauce → tamari (same ratio; use for gluten-free version)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooked dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until warmed through and crispy.

Equipment

large skillet or wok · meat thermometer (recommended for checking pork doneness)

Common Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble and refrigerate on a parchment-lined tray for up to 4 hours, then pan-fry from cold, adding 1–2 minutes to cooking time.

What's the best way to get them crispy?

Use medium-high heat and don't move them while the first side cooks. Once golden, flip and cook the second side until crispy and pork is cooked through.
