Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 cup Cooked crab meat
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 piece Garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (for dipping sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (for dipping sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (for dipping sauce)
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated (for dipping sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to create a triangle, pressing the edges tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the pot stickers in the skillet in a single layer, flat side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Reduce the heat to medium and carefully pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet. Immediately cover and steam the pot stickers for 4-5 minutes, or until the wrappers are tender and the filing is cooked through. Remove the lid and let any excess water evaporate.
While the pot stickers are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and grated ginger until well combined. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve the pot stickers warm with the sesame ginger dipping sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
