Potstickers And Egg Rolls Recipes

PERFECT POT STICKERS

Steps:

• Place ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Top with chopped green cabbage. Mix with fork until thoroughly combined. Tamp down lightly; cover with plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour.
• Place flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in hot water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a shaggy dough. Flour your hands and transfer dough to a work surface. Knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If dough seems too sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour, about 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic, and let it rest about 30 minutes.
• When dough has rested, divide into 4 equal pieces. Cover 3 pieces with a dish cloth while you work the first piece. Roll into a small log about the thickness of a thumb, about 3/4 inch. Divide each log into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin 3 1/2-inch circle on a lightly floured surface to form the pot sticker wrappers. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
• Lightly moisten the edges of a wrapper with your wet finger. Place a small scoop of the ground pork mixture onto the center of a wrapper. Fold up the 2 sides and pinch together in the center. Pinch together the remaining edges, forming "pleats" along one side. Tap the pot sticker on the work surface to slightly flatten the bottom; form a slight curve in it so it stands upright in the pan. Transfer to a well-floured plate. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• Mix together seasoned rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl for the dipping sauce.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Place about 6 or 7 pot stickers in the hot oil, flat side down. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in water and quickly cover the pan; steam for 3 minutes. Uncover; reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until water evaporates and bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer to a warm serving dish. Repeat with remaining pot stickers. Serve with dipping sauce.

POTSTICKERS AND EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Chop mushrooms into a fine dice. Place into large bowl.
• Chop cabbage into a dice. Sprinkle salt over cabbage and let sit for 30 minutes. Moisture will release out of the cabbage. Squeeze cabbage until all moisture has released and place into the same bowl as the mushrooms.
• Thinly slice green onions on the bias and place into the same bowl.
• Place remaining filling ingredients into bowl and lightly combine. Do not overwork the mixture. The dumpling will be dense if you do. If the mix is dry, add a little broth to the mixture.

SOY DIPPING SAUCE (FOR POT STICKERS OR EGG ROLLS)

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients together. Top with green onion slices as a garnish.

BAKED POT STICKERS- SWEET ASIAN DIPPING SAUCE - CHICKEN EGG ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a large bowl, combine chicken, water chestnuts, green onions, carrot, ginger, soy sauce, egg white, mayo and garlic. Mix well.
• To assemble potstickers, place 12 wonton wrappers onto a smooth, clean and dry surface. Lightly brush the edges of each wonton with water. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the center of each wonton. Fold corners of the wonton to the middle to secure the filling inside (envelope style works well, but you can be creative).
• Place wontons on a cookie sheet and lightly spray with Pam or olive oil. Repeat with remaining wontons.
• Bake 12-15 min until golden brown.
• For dipping sauce, place jelly in a small bowl. Microwave on high 30-40 sec or until warm. Add vinegar and soy sauce. Whisk until well blended.
• Serve potstickers with dipping sauce and enjoy!
