Ingredients

  • For the Dipping Sauce

    • 1/2 cup soy sauce
    • 5 tablespoons white vinegar
    • 4 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
    • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
    • Scallion greens (optional), for garnish
  • For the Pot Stickers

    • 2 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
    • 1 medium carrot, diced medium
    • 1 large egg white
    • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
    • 36 wonton wrappers
    • Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha, sugar, ginger, and sesame oil; set dipping sauce aside.

  2. Make pot stickers: In a food processor, process scallions, carrot, egg white, and half the shrimp until a paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl. Roughly chop remaining shrimp and add to bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons dipping sauce.

  3. Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, place 1 scant tablespoon shrimp mixture in center. With a wet finger, moisten edge of wrapper, then fold over filling and press to seal. Cover filled dumplings with a kitchen towel while you work.

  4. Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over high. In batches, cook dumplings until golden brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Carefully add 1/2 cup water to skillet, cover, and cook until water has almost evaporated and dumplings are tender, 3 minutes. Uncover and cook until remaining water evaporates (reduce heat to medium if dumplings are overbrowning). Transfer pot stickers to a plate. Wipe skillet clean between batches. Add scallion greens to dipping sauce if desired and serve alongside pot stickers.
