Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams plant-based chicken strips
- 24 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 cup cabbage
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Finely chop the plant-based chicken strips, cabbage, carrot, and scallions. Grate the ginger and mince the garlic.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped plant-based chicken, cabbage, carrot, scallions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
Lightly dampen the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal.
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling, keeping the prepared pot stickers covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the pot stickers in a single layer, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully pour the water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and let the pot stickers steam for 5-7 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to allow any remaining water to evaporate and to crisp the bottoms of the pot stickers again, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve the pot stickers hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
