Instructions:
-
Prepare the Filling:
- Steam the cabbage for approximately 6 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool at room temperature, then squeeze out any excess moisture and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg white, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, minced ginger, and chopped spring onions. Mix well, then add the cooked chicken and steamed cabbage to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
-
Assemble the Pot Stickers:
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.
- Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling mixture until all pot stickers are assembled.
-
Chill the Pot Stickers:
- Arrange the assembled pot stickers on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the pot stickers to chill until firm, approximately 15-20 minutes.
-
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Set aside.
-
Fry the Pot Stickers:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a generous amount of peanut oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chilled pot stickers to the pan in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, then carefully add the prepared sauce to the pan, ensuring it coats the pot stickers evenly. Cover the pan and allow the pot stickers to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and the wrappers are tender.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked, transfer the pot stickers to a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped spring onions, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy these delectable Chicken Pot Stickers as a delightful appetizer, snack, or main course. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor!
