Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams ground chicken breast
- 100 grams green cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 spray vegetable oil spray
- 1 cup water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine ground chicken breast, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the chicken mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Set up a work area with the wonton wrappers, a small bowl of water, and the filling mixture.
Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about one teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in the water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle or half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal. Make pleats along the sealed edge for a traditional potsticker look. Repeat this step until all filling is used.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the skillet with vegetable oil spray.
Place potstickers flat side down in the skillet without overcrowding (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the potstickers to steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
Transfer potstickers to a serving platter and repeat with remaining potstickers.
Serve immediately with dipping sauce of your choice.
