Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground chicken
- 100 grams Firm tofu
- 100 grams Green cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 3 whole Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 30 pieces Potsticker wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
Crumble the tofu and place it in a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture.
Finely chop the cabbage and carrot, mince the garlic and ginger, and slice the green onions.
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, crumbled tofu, chopped cabbage, grated carrot, sliced green onions, minced ginger, and garlic.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt to the filling mixture. Mix until evenly combined.
Place a small spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of the filling in the center of a potsticker wrapper.
Wet the edge of the wrapper with a little water, fold it over to form a half moon, and press the edges tightly to seal. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add potstickers to the pan, seam side up, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
Pour in half of the water and cover with a lid immediately. Let them steam for 4-5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and let the potstickers cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bottoms are crisp.
Remove potstickers from the pan and repeat with the remaining oil, potstickers, and water.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
