Potstickers

Potstickers

“Potstickers are chinese dumplings that are seared and then steamed. They can be served with a dipping sauce as an appetizer or as a main course.”

Ingredients

2 packets chicken mince

2 packets wonton (Gyoza) wrappers

1 spring onion, finely chopped

2 tsp soya sauce

1 tsp black pepper powder

½ cup shredded carrot

salt to taste

oil for frying

Directions

Keep wonton wrappers to thaw. In the meantime, Mix all the other ingredients with the chicken mince. To make the potstickers, lay a wonton wrapper on the work surface and put about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Dip your finger in a little water and wet the edges of the wonton wrapper; this will help the potsticker seal when cooking. Bring the outside edges of the wonton wrapper together over the filling and press it together to form a pouch. Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling.

To cook the potstickers, heat some oil in a very large skillet over high heat. Place all of the potstickers upright in the pan and cook, without disturbing them, until browned on the bottom, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan and immediately cover. Allow the potstickers to steam for about 3-5 minutes, then remove the skillet lid. Continue cooking until the water is completely evaporated.

Transfer to a platter and serve with chilli sauce.
