Making potstickers at home is easier than you might think. It just takes a little practice to get the crimping technique down. I used some beautiful ground pork from Green Gate Farms. Pair with a salad to make it a meal!
Ingredients
* 1/2 pound ground pork
* 1 cup finely shredded bok choy
* 2 tablespoons ginger, peeled and grated
* 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
* 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons sesame oil
* 1 splash rice vinegar
* 1 squirt hot chili sauce
* 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
* 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
* 1 egg
* Pinch kosher salt and black pepper
* 1 package gyoza wrappers
* Water
* Canola oil
* 1 cup chicken broth
* Tangy Ginger Lime Sauce, recipe follows
Directions
In large bowl mix the pork, bok choy, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, hot sauce, green onions, cilantro, egg, and salt and pepper. Set up a station with the filling, gyoza wrappers, a little bowl of water, and a sheet pan lined in plastic wrap.
Lay out a gyoza wrapper and wet the outside edge with a little water. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper so the edges meet in a half moon shape. Wet the outer edge and crimp into the familiar potsticker shape. Set on the sheet pan and cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying. Repeat until all the filling is used.temperature.
Coat a hot sauté pan with some canola oil and place potstickers down flat in the pan. Brown one side over medium heat. When they appear golden add about 1/8 cup chicken broth to the pan and quickly cover with a lid to steam. Allow to steam for 2-3 minutes. Uncover and let the potstickers fry until the underside is crisp again. Serve hot with the Tangy Ginger Lime Sauce.
