Ingredients

  • 24 rectangular (3 1/2-by-3-inch) or square wonton wrappers
  • 1 recipe Wonton Filling
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce, for serving

Directions

  1. Make wontons (through step 2).Transfer to an oiled plate, and cover with a damp towel to keep moist.

  2. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add half the wontons and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. Carefully add 1/2 cup water (oil may sputter), cover, and steam until translucent and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and wontons. Sprinkle pot stickers with scallions, if using, and serve with soy sauce.

    Also tastes great steamed - about 4-5 minutes in a bamboo steamer. No changes needed to the recipe! For dipping, add some green onion to the soy sauce.

    Followed recipe exactly first time, results were okay...Retried the very next day and these are my suggestions...

    i bought a little over a pound of pork and split the meat in half, add a few more scallions-they add flavor, the ginger can be overpowering if not chopped finely enough, I added 1/2 teaspoon of onion power
