Homemade Potstickers

My hubby loves potstickers! So I learned how to make them for him. These take some prep time but are fun to make and quite delicious! They go well alongside some stir fry or as their own main dish with a little rice. This recipe comes from the back of the potsticker wrapper package.

1/4 ground pork (or you can go vegetarian and skip along)
1/2 cup cabbage, finely chopped
1/8 cup green onion, diced
1 TBSP soy sauce
1/2 TBSP dry white wine or vinegar
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cornstarch
Dash of pepper

Mix the ingredients together in a bowl and place a small spoonful of the mixture in the center of one round potsticker wrap. Moisten the edge of the wrap with water on your fingers (not too much but not too little) to help stick together when you fold it up. Make a few pinches to help it stay together during the cooking process and to make it look fancy so people will be amazed by your cool handiwork (click on picture to see detail).


Heat 2 TBSP oil (or thin layer) in skillet over medium heat. Add potstickers and lightly brown the little sucker's bottoms (slight maniacal laugh, sorry, it's dark and stormy outside today). Pour in 1/4 cup of water (or less, too much and you'll have soggy butts, seriously) and cover the pan tightly with a lid. Turn the heat to low and cook until the water is gone.

Serve while hot on a platter with a small cup of soy sauce and enjoy!
