Cabbage Wrapped Beef Pot Stickers

 1/2 cup head of cabbage 

1 cup broccoli

8 oz ground beef

1/4 cup chopped green onion

1/2 sesame oil

1 Tbsp soy sauce

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/8 tsp garlic powder

cooking spray

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 or the larger outer cabbage leaves from both halves, and then add to boiling water. 

2.  Boil for 2 minutes, until cabbage is crisp-tender.  Use a slotted spoon to tranfer cooked cabbage to a plate of paper towels to drain.

3.  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.

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

5.  Place the filling patties into the pan and cook about 4 minutes on each side, until cutting into one shows no pink throughout.  

6.  Wrap cooked patties in cabbage leaves and secure with toothpicks.
