Feeling adventurous, I decided to try to make potstickers yesterday for the first time. I've only had them a few times at restaurants but I loved the texture of crispy outside and the flavor of the delicious filling.
I used the recipe found here, but below are my amendments to the filling and flavor. I hope you enjoy them!
(recipe makes about 35)
Mix together pork through sesame oil. To form the dumplings, remove 1 wonton wrapper
from the package. Brush 2 of the edges
of the wrapper lightly with water. Place 1/2 rounded teaspoon of the pork mixture in
the center of the wrapper. Fold over, seal edges, and shape as desired. Repeat procedure until all of the
filling is gone.
Heat a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Brush with vegetable oil once hot. Add 8 to 10 potstickers at a time to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, without touching. Once the 2 minutes are up, gently add 1/3 cup chicken stock to the pan, turn the heat down to low, cover, and cook for another 2 minutes. Clean the pan in between batches by pouring in water and allowing the pan to deglaze. Repeat until all the wontons are cooked. Serve immediately.
