EASY POT STICKER SOUP



Easy Pot Sticker Soup image

Since my husband and I have soup often, I'm always coming up with something new. I saw pot stickers in the freezer and decided to feature them in an Asian soup. The results were delicious. Rice vinegar provides just the right tang, and the green onions and carrots add color. Stir in chopped cabbage or bok choy if you'd like. A little sesame oil goes a long way, but you can always add a bit more. -Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

PERFECT POT STICKERS

Homemade pot stickers are so versatile--you can fill them with anything you want and as full as you want. And the play between the crispy, crusty bottom, and the tender parts, makes for a truly unique dumpling. These are filled with ground pork, green onions, ginger, and cabbage.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground pork
4 cloves minced garlic
½ cup finely chopped green onions
3 tablespoons very finely minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 ½ cups finely chopped green cabbage
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup hot water, about 130 -150 F (55-65 C)
¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
¼ cup soy sauce
6 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying, or as needed - divided
8 tablespoons water for steaming, divided

Steps:

  • Place ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Top with chopped green cabbage. Mix with fork until thoroughly combined. Tamp down lightly; cover with plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour.
  • Place flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in hot water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a shaggy dough. Flour your hands and transfer dough to a work surface. Knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If dough seems too sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour, about 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic, and let it rest about 30 minutes.
  • When dough has rested, divide into 4 equal pieces. Cover 3 pieces with a dish cloth while you work the first piece. Roll into a small log about the thickness of a thumb, about 3/4 inch. Divide each log into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin 3 1/2-inch circle on a lightly floured surface to form the pot sticker wrappers. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
  • Lightly moisten the edges of a wrapper with your wet finger. Place a small scoop of the ground pork mixture onto the center of a wrapper. Fold up the 2 sides and pinch together in the center. Pinch together the remaining edges, forming "pleats" along one side. Tap the pot sticker on the work surface to slightly flatten the bottom; form a slight curve in it so it stands upright in the pan. Transfer to a well-floured plate. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Mix together seasoned rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl for the dipping sauce.
  • Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Place about 6 or 7 pot stickers in the hot oil, flat side down. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in water and quickly cover the pan; steam for 3 minutes. Uncover; reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until water evaporates and bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer to a warm serving dish. Repeat with remaining pot stickers. Serve with dipping sauce.

EASY AND DELICIOUS POT STICKERS



Easy and Delicious Pot Stickers image

I was watching "Everyday Food" on PBS one day and they were making these pot stickers. They looked so easy and delicious that I had to try making them myself. They turned out just as great as they looked on tv and have become one of my favorite meals. I serve them with Recipe #62708.

Provided by Pismo

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 24 pot stickers, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup napa cabbage or 1/2 cup savoy cabbage, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
6 ounces ground pork, not all lean
3 scallions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
24 rectangular or square wonton wrappers (3 1/2-by-3-inch)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss cabbage with 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt; let stand 10 minutes.
  • Wrap cabbage in a double layer of paper towels; firmly squeeze out excess liquid.
  • Return cabbage to bowl and add pork, 3 finely chopped scallions, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  • Mix well with a fork or use your hands.
  • Work with one wrapper at a time, and keep the rest covered with a damp towel.
  • Spoon one level teaspoon of filling in center (if you try to use more, the wrappers won't seal right or may tear).
  • With dampened fingers, wet the four edges.
  • Fold wrapper in half over filling to make a triangle, making sure the ends meet and filling is centered; press edges down firmly to seal (sometimes I bring all four corners together to make a little pouch instead of a triangle, not as pretty, but faster!).
  • Transfer to an oiled plate; cover with a damp towel to keep moist.
  • Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling (Refrigerate leftover filling up to 2 days).
  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add half the wontons and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.
  • Carefully add 1/2 cup water (oil may sputter), cover, and steam until translucent and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and wontons.
  • Serve with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of dumpling wrapper: Thicker wrappers, like wonton wrappers, are best for pan-frying, while thinner wrappers, like egg roll wrappers, are better for steaming or baking.
  • Make sure the filling is well-seasoned: The filling is the star of the show, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a variety of spices, herbs, and vegetables to create a filling that's both delicious and interesting.
  • Fold the dumplings properly: The way you fold the dumplings will determine how well they hold together during cooking. Make sure to seal the edges tightly so that the filling doesn't leak out.
  • Cook the dumplings in a hot pan: When pan-frying dumplings, make sure the pan is hot before you add the dumplings. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When pan-frying dumplings, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the dumplings with a dipping sauce: Dumplings are traditionally served with a dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, vinegar, or chili sauce.

Conclusion:

Pot stickers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. With a little practice, you can make pot stickers that are just as good as the ones you get at your favorite restaurant. So what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
