Easy Pot Stickers Recipe

Easy Pot Stickers Recipe are stuffed with pork and vegetables. Pot Stickers are not difficult to make, just a little time-consuming to fold and seal the wrappers. You’ll get quicker with time, the versatility of serving as an appetizer or meal is worth the time!

I know what you’re thinking ‘a Mississippi girl making pot stickers?! I know, this is probably not the authentic, traditional kind of pot stickers. My California friend laughed when I took him to eat sushi and they deep-fried the shrimp in it! I know right?! Blasphemy! So we do things a little differently here. However, I have had traditional pot stickers, I just made these using a shortcut version. They taste similar, but are much easier to make…. and, no, I didn’t deep-fry the sausage first!

Disclaimer: No flavor was lost in the making of these short-cut pot stickers. Big Daddy said so and you know he’s my worst food critic or would that be the best food critic? Well anyway, he’s very critical.

I made my pot stickers with ground pork. While, it is very flavorful, if you’re watching calories, try ground turkey or chicken instead.

What I did to make these a quicker version, is pare down the ingredient list to a few very flavorful ingredients. Then I created a tasty dipping sauce for dunking. I like them with and without the sauce so allow your tastebuds to be the guide.

Allow I say these are ‘time-consuming’, they really are ready to serve in way less than an hour. I prefer under 30 minute meals, ok, I really prefer under 15 minute meals, but these pot-stickers are so delish, I made an exception.

Ingredients

Pot Stickers

• 20 wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoon green onions sliced thin
• 8 ounces pork sausage*
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
• 2 tablespoon water for sealing wontons
• 2 tablespoon coconut oil for frying

Sauce

• 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon agave nectar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• pench of red pepper flakes

Instructions

Pot Stickers

• Combine sausage, ginger, hoisin, garlic and green onions.
• Mix until well combined. I've found this is easier mixed with a fork.
• Lay wontons out on a clean surface.
• Fill center of wonton with approximately 1/2 tablespoon pork mixture.
• Gather edges of wrapper together over filling. Wet your fingertips with the water and seal wonton around pork. Press edges of wrapper together, enclosing the filling completely.
• Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Place a collapsible metal steamer rack or collander in a large wide pot. Fill pot with 1-inch water. Spray steamer rack with nonstick spray.
• Bring water to a boil.
• Working in batches, arrange dumplings on rack 1-inch apart. Cover pot with lid and steam dumplings until cooked thoroughly, about 8 minutes.
• Watch the water level and add more as needed.
• Transfer dumplings to a platter
• To fry, add 1 tablespoon coconut oil to a saute' pan or use a non-stick pan without oil. Fry on medium high until golden.
• Transfer to a platter and serve with dipping sauce.

Sauce

• In a small bowl, whisk all sauce ingredients together. Serve with potstickers.

Notes

*If you choose to use ground turkey or ground chicken add 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper to the recipeWontons are very sticky when wet. Do not let them touch, espcially while steaming. If you have a small spring-release scoop, that would be perfect to use to scoop the filling out in equal portions.To freeze, place uncooked pot stickers in a single layer on a baking sheet overnight. Transfer to a freezer bag after frozen. Thaw in the refrigerator, then cook as directed.Feel free to skip the last step of frying, they pot stickers are wonderful simply steamed.
