Pot stickers are a popular Chinese dish that can be found all over the world. They are typically eaten as an appetizer, but can also be enjoyed as a main course. The combination of tender filling and crispy exterior is what makes them so popular. These pot stickers are filled with a combination of vegetables and your choice of pork, chicken or vegetarian filling. They are steamed first and then pan-fried, giving them that signature crispiness on the base. Served with a soy and sesame dipping sauce, they are a crowd-pleaser every time.

Instructions

1.Boil 1/2 cup of water and pour over the dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl, allowing them to re-hydrate for around 20 minutes. Drain the mushrooms and pat dry.
2.Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and add minced green onions. Cook for 1 minute before adding the minced ginger, chopped cabbage (or spinach) and the rehydrated mushrooms.
3.Cook for around 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and then remove from heat.
4.In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetables, ground pork or chicken, soy sauce, white pepper, sesame oil, egg white and crushed garlic. Stir until well combined.
5.Place one wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Add around 2 teaspoons of filling to the center of the wrapper. Use your finger to moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and then fold in half, pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
6.Mix the cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil together in a small bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cornstarch/oil mixture to the pan. Arrange the pot stickers in a single layer in the skillet, pressing lightly to ensure they stick to the pan. Cook for around 3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
7.Pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth into the skillet and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for around 5 minutes or until the filling is cooked through.
8.Remove the lid and let the pot stickers cook for a further minute or two, allowing the remaining liquid to evaporate and the bottoms to become crispy. Remove from heat and serve with dipping sauce of your choice.
