Ingredients

Dipping sauce:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot chili oil

Filling:

  • 1/4 pound ground pork
  • 2 ounces uncooked shrimp, shelled, deveined, and finely chopped
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 cup minced water chestnuts
  • 2 tablespoons minced Chinese celery
  • 1 teaspoon minced cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Dash ground white pepper
  • 24 potsticker wrappers
  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth or water

Directions

To make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, chili-garlic sauce and hot chili oil. Mix well and reserve.

To make the filling: In a large bowl, combine, the pork, shrimp, egg white, water chestnuts, celery, cilantro, ginger, sugar, salt and sesame oil. Season with a little pepper and mix, stirring rapidly in 1 direction until the mixture is well combined and spongy.

To make the potstickers: Working in batches, lay 4 potsticker wrappers on a clean surface. Keep the remaining wrappers covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying. Put a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each of the 4 wrappers. Brush the edges with water. Fold the wrappers in half over the filling, pinching the edges together to form semi-circles. Put the potstickers on a baking sheet seam-side up and cover with a clean towel. Repeat until all the potstickers have been formed.

To cook the potstickers: Heat a large skillet over medium. Add about 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is hot add half the potstickers, seam-side up. Cook the potstckers until the bottoms are golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add 1/3 cup broth. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the cooked potstickers to a platter. Repeat, cooking the remaining potstickers.

Serve the potstickers warm accompanied by the dipping sauce.

    I have made these twice,and they're always a hit with my husband. I didn't have shrimp this time so, I used a little more of the pork, didn't use the chestnuts or the celery, used scallons & garlic.My husband ate these as he was grilling beer can chicken! He especially liked the dipping sauce. This has been my go to recipe for potstickers. However I am going to try Alton's Perfect Potstckers to compare with these.

    These are delicious. Making them ahead of time and freezing them is a great idea that I would like to try. The dipping sauce is great too, the perfect amount of spice. I don't like shrimp so I replaced it with 2 ounces of additional pork. Next time I make this recipe I might try using 2 ounces of ground turkey to add a little variety instead of all pork.

    These have been a bg hit with guests. I have also frozen batches with no noticeable loss of flavor or texture.
