Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams ground chicken
- 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 carrot, grated
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and add a teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, making sure the filling is snug.
Press the edges together to seal, pleating the seam if desired to ensure a tight seal. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Mix the cornstarch with 1 cup of cold water and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the pot stickers to the skillet in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Once browned, carefully pour the cornstarch water mixture into the skillet. Cover immediately to avoid splattering.
Steam the pot stickers for about 8 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the pot stickers are tender.
Remove the lid and allow the bottoms to crisp up again for another 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the pot stickers to a serving plate and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
