1
In a medium bowl, toss cabbage with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Wrap cabbage in a double layer of paper towels; firmly squeeze out excess liquid.
4
Return cabbage to bowl; add pork, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
5
Mix well with a fork.
6
Filling can be refrigerated, covered tightly, up to 2 days.
7
To make pot stickers, work with one wonton wrapper at a time; cover the rest with a damp kitchen towel to keep them from drying out.
8
Place 1 rounded teaspoon filling in center of wrapper.
9
With dampened fingertips, moisten all edges.
10
Fold wrapper in half over filling to form a triangle, making sure filling is centered; press down edges firmly to seal.
11
Transfer to a lightly oiled plate, and cover with a damp towel to keep moist.
12
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
13
In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high.
14
Add half the filled wontons and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.
15
Carefully add 1/2 cup water (oil may spatter); cover, and steam until wrappers are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
16
Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil, wontons, and 1/2 cup water.
17
Serve immediately, with soy sauce on the side for dipping; garnish pot stickers and soy sauce with chopped scallions.
