We made pork pot stickers for dinner this week, a recipe from Everyday Food magazine. This was my first time cooking with wonton wrappers (found in the refrigerated section by the specialty cheeses at my Kroger). These were fun to make and yummy to eat - little pockets of Asian flavor! (Robert had pot stickers later this week at a business dinner and said mine were far superior. Might have had something to do with sitting out all night on a buffet, but it shows that this recipe is a keeper!)Pork pot stickers
Makes 20
1/4 lb ground pork
1 tbsp minced chives
1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp dry sherry
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp cornstarch
20 wonton wrappers
1 tbsp vegetable oil
(Soy dipping sauce recipe follows)
In a bowl, combine pork, chives, soy sauce, sherry, ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch and 1 tbsp water. Place a heaping teaspoon of pork mixture in center of a wonton wrapper. Lightly wet edge of wrapper, fold over, and press to seal. Repeat to form remaining dumplings.
In two batches, cook dumplings in a large pot of boiling water until cooked through (4 minutes); transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. In a large nonstick pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high. In two batches, cook until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Serve with dipping sauce.
Soy-ginger dipping sauce:
In a bowl, stir together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, 2 tsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp sesame oil.
