Homemade Pot Stickers

Potstickers are one of my favorite dishes. I can’t wait for a good time to go to a restaurant to take a taste. So I try to make it to my home. Making potstickers at home is not very hard and it tastes better than we bought from stores. The most needed ingredient to make potstickers is Won ton wrappers. Won ton wrappers are easily available in any grocery store but I love to make my potstickers with fresh one made in my home. Potstickers generally made with Pork meat, cabbage, and some spices, but the taste is our own so we can make it traditionally or make some changes as per our wish. As in my potstickers I used Turkey meat instead of pork meat and believe me it tastes good. I am including the recipe of making Won ton wrappers too.

Ingredients:-

1 cup shredded green cabbage

1tbsp garlic paste

2 tsp sesame oil

1tbsp onion paste

1 tsp white pepper powder

1 tsp black pepper powder

1tbsp marinate sauce

1tbsp green chili paste

½ cup green onions                               

Salt to taste

For frying potstickers 

 1 tbsp of vegetable oil

 ½ cup of water.

Method:-

In a large bowl add ground meat, shredded cabbage, garlic paste, pepper powder, sesame oil, onion paste, green chili paste, marinate sauce, salt, spring onions and mix it well. Keep aside for ½ to 1 hour.

Place won ton wrappers on a work surface. Put 1 tsp of meat mixture in the center of each won ton wrappers.

Using fingers fold won ton wrappers over the filling and seal the edges by creating a crescent shape.

Heat oil in a large skillet. Assemble potstickers in a single layer in the skillet. 

Fry for 2 minutes. Add ½ cup of water and put the lid and cook for 10 minutes in medium heat or until water dries out. Open the lid and gently shake skillet to loosen pot stickers from skillet.

Serve warm potstickers with soy sauce or red chutney as desired.
