Okay, so this recipe is absolutely my favorite one so far!! There's a few ingredients but it's not too hard to make. You just need a little time and patience. But if you could make delicious potstickers that are way better than store-bought ones or even than the ones at your favorite Japanese restaurant, wouldn't you take an hour of your time and make these? I'm telling you. It's definitely worth it. It's also much cheaper to make at home.
Favorite Homemade Potstickers
Ingredients:
1 lb fresh ground pork, not too lean
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp rice wine
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 firm tofu, water squeezed out and broken
(Place the tofu in the middle of a clean, thin white cloth and twist the cloth to squeeze the tofu to get rid of water. Then open the cloth and you will see dry, broken tofu.)
3 1/2 oz/100g cabbage, very finely chopped
2 tsp finely chopped fresh gingerroot
2 tsp finely chopped scallion (I didn't use any)
1/2 tsp white pepper
50 round won ton skins, about
all purpose flour, for dusting
Dipping sauce : Recipe follows
For the filling, mix the first 10 ingredients in large mixing bowl. Use your kitchen aid or mixer to stir the ingredients well, about 3-4 minutes. (If you're using hand, stir carefully, always in the same direction, to create a thick paste.) Cover and let rest about 10-20 minutes.
Yummy Dipping Sauce: 2 tbsp soy sauce/1 drop of sesame oil/1/2 tsp sesame seeds/1/4tsp red pepper flakes
Combine all ingredients in a small dipping sauce dish and stir.
Enjoy!!
Enjoy!!
I hadn't eaten these until my daughter made them in her school cookery class. I am now addicted! Last time she made them she taught me how! Hooray!
ReplyDeleteOh...This is also my family favourite :D I usually make this at this once a month. My ingredients are slightly different from yours. Maybe we can exchange recipes, right? Please check under 'JiaoZI 饺子'~ Fried Dumpling.

ReplyDeleteYen learns to cook-
ReplyDeleteI Love your blog. I'm sure that yours are fantastic! Do you have a recipe for it? I'd like to try it.
I really do wonder why "gyoza" are the only ones that gets attention. I mean those dumpling things are popular everywhere in asia.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I might have to try your recipe, maybe minus the cabbage. I don't like cabbage. Also, I like them deep-fried. But to each her own I guess. =)
Happy Cooking!
