Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground chicken
- 150 grams Firm tofu
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 pieces Pot sticker wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Press firmly to remove as much moisture as possible, then crumble it into small pieces.
Finely chop green onions and mince garlic and ginger.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, crumbled tofu, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Lay out the pot sticker wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
Moisten the edges of a wrapper with water, fold it over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal. Pleat the edges for a decorative touch if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully arrange the pot stickers in the pan in a single layer without overcrowding.
Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover the pan with a lid. Let the pot stickers steam until the water has evaporated, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Remove the lid and let the pot stickers continue to cook for another minute to re-crisp the bottoms.
Serve the pot stickers hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
