Easy Pot Stickers

May 8, 2012 by Maureen 36 Comments

It’s just turning Autumn here on the Sunshine Coast of Australia and the weather is absolutely beautiful – certainly no time to have a horrible cold!  I’m not happy!

I know I say it’s always best to make everything home made but sometimes rules are made to be broken.  Like now.  Do you like pot stickers?  We love these little Chinese dumplings and make them quite often.  Since there are only two of us, we make a batch and eat a few and freeze the rest.

You can buy gyoza wrappers at most any Asian grocery store or a gow gee wrapper will work too. Then all you need to do is mix the filling and job’s done.

My son married a woman who was born and raised in Taiwan and I’ve learned to love all the wonderful dishes she makes, especially her spring rolls and these pot stickers!

Filling for pot stickers

She makes her pot stickers the traditional way by folding the pastry and pleating it by hand.  I take the easy way out.  I use an inexpensive plastic dumpling maker you can buy most anywhere.  For a week night meal, I prefer to use a simple dumpling maker and get the job done in 5 minutes rather than my slower than anything pleating method.

Place the pastry in the dumpling maker, put a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center and fold the dumpling over.

Once they’re all made, put some oil in a heated skillet and place the pot stickers pleat side up.  Press them down a bit so you get more brown yummy bits on the bottom.  Cook til the bottoms are golden brown.

Once the bottoms are golden brown, add about 1/4 cup of water to the pan and cover.  Steam until all the water has evaporated and then serve with an Asian dipping sauce of your choice.
