KELLY'S POT STICKERS

I adapted this recipe from the back of the package of wonton wrappers. They can be a little "putsy" to make, but SO good - I get asked to make them again & again! Be creative with the meats & veggies - chicken or shrimp will work. Add any other firm veggies you have on hand - celery, beans sprouts, water chestnuts, etc. You can make these ahead & just reheat for guests. Enjoy!!!

Time 50m

1 pound lean ground pork
4 large napa cabbage leaves, minced
6 stalks green onions, minced
7 shitake mushrooms, minced (if dried - rehydrated and rinsed carefully)
1/2 cup bok choy, minced
1/2 cup bamboo shoots, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons corn starch
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons sriracha, optional (non-traditional but I like the flavor it adds!)
36 won ton wrappers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
water, as needed
soy sauce, for serving
green onions, optional garnish
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons rice wine
1 teaspoon chili oil or chili sauce/paste, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine all pork filling ingredients until well combined.
  • You will need a clean workspace, wonton wrappers, prepared pork filling, a small bowl of water, and chopsticks.
  • Begin by filling the wonton wrapper with about a tablespoons worth of pork filling. Wet your finger, and run along the edges of the wonton wrapper. This will help to seal it closed.
  • If your wrapper is round, fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal. If you wrapper is square, scroll up to view the step by step images of how I fold my dumplings into a little purse dumpling.
  • Once you have filled the dumplings you can freeze them or eat them fresh.
  • Place the dumplings in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes.
  • Then place in a ziplock baggie, where they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet and place dumplings in an even layer. Fry for a few minutes until bottoms are golden.
  • Add 1/3 cup of water and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook until the water has boiled away and then uncover and reduce heat to medium or medium low.
  • Let the dumplings cook for another 2 minutes then remove from heat and serve with soy sauce and thinly sliced green onions.
  • Place dumplings in a steamer basket on a single layer of cabbage leaves or a piece of parchment paper and steam for about 8 minutes.
  • Whisk together all ingredients and serve in a shallow bowl to dip your potstickers in! You can make this ahead and store it in the fridge for up to a week.

FAST POT-STICKERS



Fast Pot-Stickers image

What can make pot-stickers a minimalist dish? One approach is called takeout and is already quite common. The alternative is using the wrappers now sold in just about every supermarket. Start with those, and a filling of ground pork (beef, chicken, turkey and lamb also work), cabbage, scallions, ginger and garlic. For a vegetarian pot-sticker, cabbage can dominate, complemented by chopped shiitakes, minced tofu, minced celery and carrots, chives or a combination. Wrap, seal and cook.

Time 1h

Yield 4 main-course or 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 pound ground pork or other meat
1 cup minced cabbage
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoons minced garlic
6 scallions, the white and green parts separated, both minced
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons good soy sauce
48 dumpling wrappers
1 egg, lightly beaten in a bowl
4 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil, more or less
1/4 cup rice vinegar or white vinegar

Steps:

  • Combine meat, cabbage, ginger, garlic, scallion whites and 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl with 1/4 cup water. Lay a wrapper on a clean, dry surface, and using your finger or a brush, spread a bit of egg along half of its circumference. Place a rounded teaspoon of filling in center, fold over and seal by pinching edges together. (Do not overfill.) Place dumplings on a plate; if you want to wait a few hours before cooking, cover plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Or freeze, for up to two weeks.
  • To cook, put about 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet and turn heat to medium-high. A minute later, add dumplings, one at a time; they can touch one another, but should still sit flat in one layer. Cook about 2 minutes, or until bottoms are lightly browned and most of the oil has been absorbed. Add 1/4 cup water per dozen dumplings to pan, and cover. Lower heat to medium, and let simmer about 3 minutes.
  • To make the dipping sauce, combine remaining soy sauce, green parts of scallions and vinegar.
  • Uncover dumplings, return heat to medium-high and cook another minute or two, until bottoms are dark brown and crisp and water evaporates. (Use more oil if necessary.) Serve hot, with sauce.

CHINESE POT STICKERS



Chinese Pot Stickers image

These pot stickers are 100% better than any you can buy and well worth the extra effort. I like to make them and then freeze them so all you have to do is the final steps just before you serve them. I make them every Christmas to have as a quick appetizer. One review commented that she had trouble with them sticking together when she defrosted them - I have not had this happen however to be sure it doesn't happen to you defrost them separated. I have also fried them directly from the freezer. They only take a few seconds more to cook.

Time 1h

Yield 64 Potstickers

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups cabbage, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt

  • On each wrapper (keep them covered with a damp cloth so they do no dry out) place about 2 tsp of the mix and seal the edges, use a bit of water on the edge, try to press out all the air and ensure they are tightly sealed (At this point you can freeze them individually on a cookie sheet and them place in a plastic bag. They will keep for a month. Defrost in fridge before continuing).
  • In 2 large skillets heat 1 tbsp oil, fry 16 dumplings for 1 minute or until golden on one side add 1/4 cup of stock into the pan, reduce heat to low, cover and cook, without turning for about 7 minutes or until the dumpling is translucent and most of the liquid has evaporated Uncover and on higher heat cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the bottoms are dark brown, drain put on a platter and keep warm.
  • Repeat for the remaining 32 dumplings.
  • Mix the dipping sauce and serve with warm or hot dumplings.

Tips

  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your pot stickers. Make sure to use fresh vegetables, herbs, and meat.
  • Don't overfill the pot stickers: Overfilling the pot stickers will make them difficult to seal and they will be more likely to break open during cooking.
  • Seal the pot stickers tightly: Make sure to seal the pot stickers tightly so that the filling doesn't leak out during cooking.
  • Cook the pot stickers in a non-stick pan: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and tearing.
  • Serve the pot stickers with your favorite dipping sauce: Pot stickers are traditionally served with a soy-based dipping sauce, but you can also use other sauces such as sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, or chili sauce.

Conclusion

Pot stickers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of ingredients, making them a great option for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pot stickers a try!
