Preparation
Step 1
For the pot stickers: Line a sheet pan with foil and dust with the cornstarch. Combine onions, ginger, meat, oyster sauce, rice wine and chile sauce. Place a wonton wrapper in your hand and spoon 2 teaspoons of the meat filling into the center. Pull up the sides around the filling and encircle the dumpling “waist” with your index finger and thumb.
Squeeze the waist while pressing the top and the bottom of the pot sticker with your other index finger and thumb. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Place pot stickers on the prepared pan. At this point, pot stickers can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 8 hours, or frozen.
For the sauce: Combine sauce ingredients and mix well.
To cook pot stickers: Heat a 12-inch saucepan until very hot. Add oil and immediately add pot stickers, bottom side down. Fry pot stickers until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Pour in the sauce and cover immediately with a lid. Reduce heat and continue to steam until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Shake the pan so pot stickers fall over and are glazed with the sauce.
To serve: Place pot stickers on a warm platter and garnish with herbs.
