Ingredients

• 1/2 lb ground pork
• 1 cup chopped carrot
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 tbs soy sauce
• 1 tbs rice wine or dry sherry
• 1 tbs cornstarch
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp minced ginger
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 28 potsticker wrappers
• 3 tbs cooking oil
• 2/3 cup chicken broth

Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix ingredients in bowl, let stand for 15 minutes.

2. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of a wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half, crimping one side, to for a semicircle.

3. Set the potstickers on a baking sheet, seam side up, so they sit flat. Cover the potstickers with a towel while filling the remaining wrappers.

4. Place a wide frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add 1 1/2 tbs oil, swirling to coat the sides. Add the potstickers, half at a time, seam side up. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 3-4 minutes.

5. Add 1/3 cup broth. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 5-6 minutes. Cook remaining potstickers with remaining oil and broth.

6. Place the potstickers, browned side up, on a serving platter with chili oil, rice vinegar and soy sauce on the side.
