Ingredients:
- 1/2 head cabbage
- 1 bunch green onions
- 3 carrots
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 lb pork
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Water
Instructions:
-
Prepare Filling: Begin by combining the cabbage, green onions, carrots, garlic clove, soy sauce, ground ginger, pork, and sesame oil in a bowl. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Assemble Dumplings: Lay several wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the prepared filling in the center of each wrapper. It’s advisable to work with a few wrappers at a time to prevent them from drying out.
-
Seal Dumplings: In a small bowl, create a paste by mixing cornstarch with water. Use this paste to seal the edges of the wonton wrappers. Fold each wrapper into a triangular shape, ensuring the filling is enclosed. Then, fold in all three points to create a “diaper” shape, sealing all seams with the paste.
-
Cook Dumplings: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Once hot, fry the dumplings in batches until they are golden brown on both sides. Add approximately 1/3 cup of chicken broth to the skillet, cover, and steam the dumplings for about 8 minutes or until cooked through. Repeat the process, adding oil and broth as needed, until all the pot stickers are cooked to perfection.
-
Prepare Dipping Sauce: While the dumplings are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by reducing a mixture of brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic until it reaches the desired thickness for dipping.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, serve the pot stickers hot alongside the prepared dipping sauce. Watch as your guests delight in the irresistible flavors and textures of these homemade delights. Enjoy every bite and revel in the satisfaction of creating a culinary masterpiece!
Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply craving a delicious snack, Kelly’s Pot Stickers are sure to impress with their irresistible taste and delightful presentation.
