Instructions

To Make the Potsticker Filling;

  1. In a large non-stick skillet, set over medium-low heat, add a tablespoon of oil. When the oil is warm, add the diced acorn squash, green onions, green cabbage, white pepper and a few pinches of salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, until softened and until the squash is tender. Add the chili sauce, vinegar, minced ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Cook for an additional minute.
  2. Pour the squash mixture into a medium bowl and then add the pork and ½ teaspoon of salt. Mix it up until totally combined, being careful to not smash the squash too much.

To Assemble the Potstickers:

  1. Place one wrapper in your hand. Add a teaspoon of filling to the center of the wrapper and moisten hallway around the edge with a wet finger. To seal, using the thumb and forefinger of one hand, form tiny pleats, pressing the edges together. Stand the dumpling up on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
  2. *NOTE: If you’re cooking these in a few hours, transfer them to the freezer. And cook them straight from the freezer

To Make the Dipping Sauce:

  1. Whisk together the soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil and sesame seeds.

To Cook the Potstickers:

  1. In a 10-inch, non-stick skillet, set over medium heat, add a few teaspoons of oil. When the oil is hot, add the pot stickers so they’re standing up right. Cook, uncovered until the bottoms are light golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of water and then quickly cover with a lid. Cook until bottom is crispy and dumplings are steamed, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the pot and serve alongside the sauce. Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds. Serve immediately

Notes

  • Can You Freeze Potstickers 
  • Yes, absolutely! I like to assemble them and then immediately freeze them. Then I like to freeze them for 1 hour and then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. No need to even defrost them, you can simply cook them from frozen. 
  • Tips and Tricks 
  • You definitely want to make sure the squash is diced up fine enough for it to easily fit in the dumpling. 
  • If the pre-made wrappers you purchased happen to be square (mine were), you can simply use a sharp cookie cutter that’s 3-inches big to cut out circles.
