Easy Pot Stickers Recipe are stuffed with pork and vegetables, steam and/or fried and served with a flavorful sauce. They are a little time-consuming to make, but you'll get quicker at the folding and sealing process with practice. Serve as an appetizer or meal!
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.
