Chinese Dim Sum Pot Stickers are a classic appetizer in Chinese cuisine. They are commonly enjoyed as part of a larger dim sum meal or as an appetizer before a main course. Pot stickers are a delicious combination of meat and vegetables wrapped in a thin layer of dough and either steamed or fried until crispy. They are typically served with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce, vinegar, and other seasonings. Pot stickers are a fun and tasty dish to make at home, either by yourself or with friends and family.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken (or pork), tamari, sherry (or rice wine), sugar, green onions, ginger, garlic, carrot, and sesame oil. Mix well.
2.Add the beaten egg and cornstarch to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly.
3.In another bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil.
4.To fill the gyoza skins, place a small amount of the meat mixture in the center of each skin.
5.Use water or broth to wet the edges of the skin, then fold the skin in half and crimp the edges to seal.
6.To cook the pot stickers, heat enough peanut oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the pot stickers in the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
7.Carefully pour enough water or broth into the skillet to come a quarter of the way up the sides of the pot stickers. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the pot stickers to steam until fully cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
8.Serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side!

PROS

Pot stickers are a crowd-pleasing appetizer that can be made ahead of time for parties or gatherings.
They are savory and delicious, with a crispy browned bottom and tender steamed top.
They can be easily customized with different fillings (chicken, pork, vegetables, etc.
) and are fun to make with friends and family.

CONS

Pot stickers can be high in sodium (especially if using store-bought wrappers or dipping sauce) and fat (if fried instead of steamed).
They are also labor-intensive to make, particularly if folding the gyoza skins by hand.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Chinese Dim Sum Pot Stickers are a good source of lean protein and contain a variety of flavorful vegetables and spices such as ginger, garlic, and green onions. Pot stickers can be made healthier by using lean protein (chicken or pork), steaming them instead of frying, and using less sodium in the dipping sauce.
