Mix the Filling (Zip Bag Trick): Place the ground pork, all seasonings, green onion, shredded carrot, and corn into a zip bag. Try to squeeze out as much air as possible, seal the bag, and knead everything together until well combined.

Shape the Pot Stickers: Lightly wet the top edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling and pinch the top edges together, leaving the ends open like traditional pot stickers.Note: You can also fully seal the dumplings if you prefer — this version tends to hold even more juice inside. Pan Fry: Lightly wet the top edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling and pinch the top edges together, leaving the ends open like traditional pot stickers. Cook until the bottoms turn lightly golden.
Steam: Add water to the pan to just cover the bottom of the dumplings — about ¼ inch (½ cm). Cover with a lid and steam for 6–8 minutes, until the water evaporates. Note: If the water evaporates too quickly, add a little more. Crisp the Bottom: Once the water has fully evaporated, uncover the pan and let the dumplings pan fry for another minute or two until the bottoms become golden brown and crispy.
Serving: Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion (optional). Serve immediately while hot.
