These chicken potstickers are pan-fried dumplings filled with a savory mixture of ground chicken, vegetables, and seasonings. They are crispy on the bottom, tender on the top, and perfect as an appetizer or main dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 cups napa cabbage, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1 pack round dumpling wrappers (about 50 wrappers)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup water (for steaming)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, napa cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
  2. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper.
  3. Wet the edge of the wrapper with water and fold into a half-moon shape, pleating the edge to seal tightly.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add potstickers in a single layer, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam.
  7. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until water has evaporated and potstickers are cooked through.
  8. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
  9. Serve hot with dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

  • Make sure the dumpling edges are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
  • You can freeze uncooked dumplings for later; just cook from frozen, adding a few more minutes to steam time.
  • Use a non-stick skillet with a tight-fitting lid for best results.
