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.

Flamin' Hot Cheeto Fried Pot Stickers image

Sometimes I make crazy and fun spins on dishes. I serve these for sports events, fun hangouts and anytime you just need your food to make you smile! Flamin' Hot Cheetos are the best coating for these pot stickers because they're spicy, tangy and savory! You can make your own pot stickers if you wish but buying them frozen is so much faster.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

About 4 cups canola oil or other neutral oil
3 cups spicy cheese puffs, such as Flamin' Hot® Cheetos®, crushed
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
16 fully-cooked frozen potstickers
1/2 cup ranch dressing or desired dipping sauces

Steps:

  • Heat 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees F in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet or line a plate with paper towels.
  • In a food processor, pulse the Spicy Cheese puffs until they are the consistency of breadcrumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the panko and stir until well combined. Stir in a pinch each of salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Place the flour in another medium bowl and set aside. This will be your dredge.
  • Beat the eggs in a third medium bowl. This will be your egg wash.
  • To set up your fry station, place the Spicy Cheese puff panko bowl nearest to the oil. Place the egg wash bowl next to that, then place the flour bowl next to the egg wash. Your fry station is complete.
  • Working in batches of 3 to 4 potstickers, roll them in the flour and shake off the excess. Now, dip them into the egg wash and roll to completely coat. Then lightly press and roll into the Spicy Cheese puff mixture until completely covered. Place 1 batch at a time in the hot oil and fry on all sides until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on the prepared baking sheet or plate. Serve with ranch dressing or your desired dipping sauces.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pot sticker wrappers. Look for wrappers that are thin and pliable, and that won't tear easily when you fold them.
  • Make sure your filling is well-seasoned. The filling is the star of the show, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a variety of seasonings, such as ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  • Don't overfill the pot stickers. If you overfill them, they'll be difficult to fold and seal properly. Aim for about 1 tablespoon of filling per pot sticker.
  • Fold the pot stickers carefully. There are many different ways to fold pot stickers, but the most common method is the crescent shape. Make sure the edges are sealed tightly so that the filling doesn't leak out.
  • Cook the pot stickers in a hot pan. This will help to create a crispy outer layer and a tender, juicy filling.
  • Serve the pot stickers with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.

Conclusion:

Fried pot stickers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fried pot stickers a try!
