Pot Stickers Recipe
Pot stickers are Chinese dumplings, also called ‘gyoza’ in Japan.
Pot stickers have become very popular in the United States. These dumplings are filled with a shrimp, pork and cabbage mixture and then steamed. I had wanted to make these for a long time but I had trouble finding the dumpling wrappers. This article also includes a recipe for the dipping sauce, although, in my opinion it is not required. The sauce is just a simple mixture of soy sauce, vinegar and ginger. I found the pot stickers to have amazing flavor even without the sauce. Crimping the pot stickers in the traditional way is probably the biggest challenge here. I will try and explain it the best way I can. I feel it is important to slightly freeze the pot stickers before cooking them. This will help the skins become tougher so they don’t fall apart when you are steaming them. Now you can make your own pot stickers at home!
