Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 3 medium green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water (for slurry)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, chopped spinach, and rice vinegar. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Prepare a clean workspace and lay out the wonton wrappers. Keep them covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Using a finger, lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing out any air and sealing the edges. Use the slurry to help seal, if necessary. Optionally, pleat the edges for a more traditional look.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place half of the potstickers flat side down in the pan, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and cover immediately with a tight-fitting lid. Steam the potstickers for about 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and allow the potstickers to cook for another minute to crisp up the bottoms.
Repeat the process with the remaining potstickers and olive oil.
Serve hot with your choice of low sodium dipping sauce and enjoy!
