Yield: About 24 Potstickers
Ingredients:
1 package gyoza or wonton wrappers
Filling:1/2 pound ground chicken or pork
1/2 pound ground shrimp or raw shrimp chopped
1/2 cup water chestnuts, fresh if possible, peeled and sliced
1tablespoon light soy sauce or Kikkoman
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon salt Pinch of white pepper if desired
3 tablespoons green/spring onion,
minced 3 tablespoons ginger, minced 3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped *
Directions:
Mix together the filling ingredients. Place a small bowl of water on the work area. Lay out one of the gyoza wrappers in front of you. Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper. Fold the gyoza wrapper over the filling and pinch the edges to seal it shut.
(You may want to use a cornstarch/water mixture to make this easier). Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet or wok.
When oil is ready, carefully add the dumplings and cook on high heat until golden brown (about 1 minute). Without turning the dumplings over, add 1 cup of water and cover. Steam for about 1 minute to cook the raw filling and then turn off the heat (this is to keep the bottom from burning).
Let the dumplings cook for a few more minutes with the heat turned off. Serve the potstickers with Dipping Sauce or soy sauce.
