How to Make Asian Potstickers
Step #1: In a large bowl, gently combine all of the filling ingredients with a wooden spoon. Inspired by that experience, I decided to recreate a favorite at home. This Easy Asian Potstickers recipe uses wonton wrappers filled with a flavorful mixture of ground pork, vegetables, and hoisin sauce. Potstickers or pan-fried dumplings are known for their unique cooking method, where they are pan-fried on one side until crispy, then steamed to cook the filling and soften the wrapper. Step #3: Fill a small bowl with water and set it next to your workstation. Dip a finger in the water and run it along the entire edge of the round wonton wrapper closest to you. Form the potsticker by bringing two sides of the wrap together to form a half-moon shape. Begin by pinching the center of the potsticker and work your way from the center out to both sides, pinching to create a seal as you go. Place the completed potsticker on the second baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers until all of the filling is used. Step #4: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium heat. Working in batches, add potstickers in a single layer and cover the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, then remove the cover and add ½ cup water. Recover the pan, turn the heat down to medium-low, and steam until cooked through (another 5-7 minutes or so). Step #5: Serve with dipping sauce. Make a double batch and flash freeze the leftovers! To reheat, cook frozen potstickers directly in a skillet with a bit of oil and water until heated through and crispy.
