Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 pound of ground pork
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
- 3 chopped scallions, toss white part
- 1 tablespoons of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 beaten egg
Potstickers
- 18 to 20 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil, as necessary
Dipping sauce
- 1/2 cup of soy sauce
- 1/2 cup of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (or more if you desire)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the ground pork, garlic, ginger, scallions, sesame oil, sriracha, soy sauce and beaten egg and combine. Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour. This is your filling!
- Assemble the potstickers. Lay the wonton wrappers out on a clean work surface. Working with one at a time, spoon 1 tablespoon filling onto the center of the wrapper. Brush water around the edges, then fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon, pinching the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
- In a large thick pan (with a cover), heat up oil over medium-high heat. Place the potstickers flat side down, in the hot oil. Cook about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom (You can check with tongs). Pour in 1/4 cup of water and immediately cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce heat to medium-low and steam for about 3-4 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the water evaporates (if necessary), another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a dish and repeat with the remaining potstickers.
- Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and red pepper flakes - this is your dipping sauce!
- Serve the potstickers with the dipping sauce!
Notes
- Make sure to watch closely when frying the bottoms of the potstickers. If they begin to burn add the water as quick as you can, cover, and lower the temperature!
