Instructions
Make the dumpling sauce. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, ¾ teaspoon sugar, 1 ½ tablespoons vinegar, 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil, 1 grated garlic clove, and 1 finely chopped green onion.
Cook the potsticker "filling" proteins. Heat a large deep skillet over medium. Add 2 teaspoons sesame oil, ½ pound ground pork, and ¾ pound ground chicken and cook, breaking the meat up into small pieces, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
Add the aromatics. Add the 1 ½ tablespoons grated ginger, ½ cup green onion, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 ½ tablespoons rice wine or mirin and mix well. Stir in 8 cups chopped cabbage and cook until tender, 4 to 5 more minutes.
Assemble the bowls. Spoon ¾ cup cooked white rice into each of four bowls and top with 1 cup of the pork filling. Drizzle with the dumpling sauce, top with more sesame seeds and more green onion, and serve.
