Garlic Ginger Chicken Potstickers
Homemade potstickers are easier to make than you think! Plus, they are cheaper and tastier than take-out or store-bought. Best of all, you can make these ahead of time and freeze so you can have these anytime, anywhere!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken breast
- ¾ cup diced shiitake mushrooms
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon seasoned rice wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 36 (4 1/2-inch) round wonton wrappers
- ¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, mushrooms, cilantro, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, rice wine vinegar, pepper and red pepper flakes, if using.*
- To assemble the dumplings, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.*
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add potstickers in a single layer and cook until beginning to crisp on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Working quickly, add 1/4 cup water; cover and cook until liquid has evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are crisp and golden, about 2-4 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
*The filling in the potstickers does not have to be cooked prior to wrapping.
*To freeze, place uncooked potstickers in a single layer on a baking sheet overnight. Transfer to freezer bags.
