potstickers Archives - Life's A Tomato

This was my first time ever making potstickers. My wife agrees – they were fantastic! No, they’re not authentic. I didn’t make my own dough. I cheated and used wonton wrappers instead. They were an excellent first attempt at making wonton potstickers, and we’d make them the same way again the next time! I found them to be very addicting. And very difficult to stop eating. The flavor is so great, I think I smiled the entire time while eating them!

Spice ‘Em Up!

If you like a little kick in your wonton potstickers, add a little dried pepper flake to the meat mixture before wrapping them. They also add a nice kick to the dipping sauce.

Also try my herbed wonton crisps. They make for a delicious snack. For something with more of a kick, try my creamy Cajun sausage ravioli.

Ingredients

For the potstickers

8 ounces Napa cabbage sliced very thin
1 pound ground pork
¼ cup green onions chopped fine
1 tablespoon white wine
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame oil
ground white pepper
vegetable oil for frying
Wonton wrappers I used 2 packages of 24 and ended up with a few extras

For the dipping sauce

¼ cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

Mix cabbage and 2 teaspoons of salt in a large bowl and set aside for 5 minutes. Squeeze out any excess moisture.
Add in the pork, green onions, wine, cornstarch, 1 teapoon salt, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well.
Working in batches, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture into the centers of the wrappers. Fold up edges to seal into a triangle.
Heat about 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok. Add won tons, but don’t add so many at one time that they get crowded.
Fry for 2-3 minutes or until bottoms are browned.
Flip the wrappers and add 1/2 cup of water. Put a lid on the skillet and let cook another 6-7 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. Remove to a plate and continue cooking remaining won tons in the same fashion.
Serve with the dipping sauce.
