Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 2 lbs ground poultry I use half chicken, half turkey
- ¼ cup Asian cooking rice wine
- 3 TB Asian toasted sesame oil
- 1 TB granulated sugar
- 4 TB regular not light soy sauce
- 1 TB minced garlic
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp five spice powder
- 3 tsp table salt
- ½ tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp white pepper
- 4 green onion stalks finely minced
- 3 cups finely minced Napa cabbage be sure there's no moisture
Other:
- 2 packages round potsticker wrappers refrigerated Asian section of grocery stores
- Oil for pan frying
Optional Dipping Sauce:
- ⅓ cup light soy sauce
- ⅓ cup mirin
- 1 tsp Asian toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp Sriracha
Instructions
- Make dipping sauce by mixing all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all filling ingredients except for Napa cabbage. Stir well to thoroughly combine. Add Napa cabbage, stirring to combine.
- Place about 1 TB of the meat filling into the center of a wrapper. Dab water around the edges of wrapper. Fold wrapper in half, into a semi-circle, and press edges tightly to seal well. If desired, fold/pleat the potsticker (see video link for visual.)
- Place folded potstickers on a lightly floured surface.
- Coat a large frying pan well with oil - don't be shy - entire bottom should be coated with a thin layer of oil. Heat oil to warm (not overly hot) and place potstickers carefully in the pan, without overcrowding them. Cook on medium-high heat until bottoms are nicely browned. Pour in 1 cup of water (be careful of splatter) and cover pan immediately. Cook for 5 minutes, or until liquid is evaporated and filling is cooked through.
- Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat in batches. Serve immediately, with or without dipping sauce.
- * Note: Uncooked wrapped potstickers may be frozen. Place in single layer on a platter, freeze, and transfer to airtight bag. May be kept frozen for a month or two.
