Pot Sticker Oh My!

I want to tell you about something easy to make after the complexity of last nights dish.  I'm exhausted!!!!!  Pot stickers or chinese dumplings are very easy and delicious to make.  Especially if you go to the local asian market and buy the wonton wraps already made in the refrigerator section.  This is all you need to make them.

Ingredients:


1/2 lbs of ground pork
1/2 lbs of fresh peeled and deveined shrimp or "shrimps" as a chef I once knew called them. (Monica, you know who I mean!)
2 tsp of corn starch
2 tsp of soy sauce
1 chopped green onion
A small chuck of cabbage.

You will need a food processor.  Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until all the ingredients are well integrated.  That's it!

Place a teaspoon in the middle of the wonton wrap.  Moisten the edges with a little water.  I use a small silicon brush.  If you don't own one you need to have one.  I use mine all the time.  They are great and easy to clean not like the old bristle ones.

fold it  in a diagonal and press.  You can buy a wonton press at the asian market.  It's plastic and very inexpensive.  Usually under $5.  If you don't have one just press with your fingers so the dough is sealed around the filling.

You can put them in a soup broth and cook for about 20 minutes or saute in a skillet till brown on each side.  If you saute in a skillet mix together a little soy sauce, vinegar, chinese mustard and some red pepper flakes to taste as a dipping sauce.

As you can see from the picture I chose to have them in wonton soup.  Yum!!!!!

Enjoy!!!!
