Easy potsticker recipe for less than $10 per batch.
Serves: 36
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground chicken (or pork)
  • ½-3/4 cup of shredded cabbage (shredded finely)
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2-3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 TBSP freshly grated ginger
  • 2 TBSP soy sauce (reduced sodium)
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp. ground white pepper
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 36 won ton wrappers
  • **Sesame Oil - make your own sesame oil by bringing olive oil (or vegetable oil) and sesame seeds to a boil. Once seeds brown, drain seeds. You are left with sesame oil!
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, mix the cabbage, carrot, garlic, onions, ginger, soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil ground white pepper and red pepper flakes.
  2. Add ground chicken or ground pork to mixture and stir until well blended.
  3. Add about 1 TBSP of the mixture to the wonton wrappers. Use a small amount of water around the edges to seal the wonton wrappers.
  4. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a few potstickers at a time. Potstickers will be ready when they float to the top and are poofy (around 6 minutes in cooking time).
  5. Drain potstickers on a wire rack to reduce moisture. They can also be slightly browned in a large skillet after boiled.
  6. Freeze: Once cooled, place in a large ziplock bag or freezable container.
  7. Dipping Sauce:
  8. I prefer soy sauce however you can make an olive oil based sauce. For the olive oil spicy sauce heat in a saucepan ½ cup olive oil, 1 tsp. minced garlic and ⅛ to ¼ cup of crushed red chili flakes (depending on desired heat). Cook until flavors combined and warm.
