Cabbage Wrapped Beef Pot Stickers

Ingredients:
75 grams of cooked cabbage (1 Green)
8 oz 95% to 97% Ground Beef raw (1 Leaner Lean)
2 tbsp chopped green onion (1/4 Green)
1 tsp Sesame oil (1 Healthy Fat)
1 tbsp lite Soy sauce (1 Condiment)
1/8 tsp Ground Ginger (1/4 Condiment)
1/8 tsp Garlic Powder (1/4 Condiment)
Cooking spray

Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Wash and cut cabbage in half. Cut the core from each half of the cabbage by slicing it out in a triangular wedge.

Separate at least 8 of the larger outer cabbage leaves from both halves, and then add to boiling water. (Save remaining cabbage for another meal). Boil for 2 minutes, until cabbage is crisp-tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked cabbage to a plate of paper towels to drain.

Prepare the pot sticker filling by combining beef, chopped green onions, sesame oil, soy sauce, ground ginger and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Mix well.

Place a large nonstick pan over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Form the filling into thick oval patties about the shape and size of your thumb.

Place the filling patties into the pan and cook about 4 minutes on each side, until cutting into one shows no pink throughout. Wrap cooked patties in cabbage leaves and secure with toothpicks.
