Equipment

  • Frying pan

Ingredients
  

For the stuffing:

  • 1 pound ground chicken breast
  • 1 small shallot finely minced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 3 green onions sliced thinly
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce

For assembly:

  • 40 round wonton wrappers
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 7 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil divided

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced shallot, minced garlic, grated ginger, sliced green onions, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and chili garlic sauce. Use your hands or a spatula to mix everything thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be cohesive but not too dense.

Step 2: Assemble the Pot Stickers

  • Take a wonton wrapper and place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center. Use your finger to brush the outer edge of the wrapper with the beaten egg. This will help seal the pot sticker. Fold the wrapper in half to form a semi-circle, pressing out any air as you go. Make sure the edges are sealed well to prevent leakage during cooking. Repeat this process until all the filling is used.

Step 3: Cook the Pot Stickers

  • In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pot stickers in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 4: Steam the Pot Stickers

  • Once the bottoms are crispy, carefully pour in about 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. This will create steam that cooks the filling. Reduce the heat to medium and let the pot stickers steam for about 5-7 minutes. Once the water has evaporated, remove the lid and let them cook for an additional minute to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 5: Serve

  • Once cooked, remove your pot stickers from the skillet and serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce. A mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil is a classic choice.

Notes

  • Don’t Overfill: When adding the filling to your wrappers, avoid overfilling. A teaspoon is usually sufficient. Overfilled pot stickers may burst during cooking.
  • Keep Wrappers Covered: Wonton wrappers can dry out quickly. Keep them covered with a damp towel while you assemble the pot stickers to prevent them from becoming brittle.
  • Test First: Before cooking all of the pot stickers, consider frying one as a test. This allows you to adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • Use Nonstick Spray: If you’re worried about sticking, spritz your frying pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray before adding the oil.
  • Batch Cooking: Make a large batch and freeze the extra pot stickers. They can be cooked straight from the freezer when you need a quick meal.v
