Ingredients
- ¾ cup canola oil, divided
- ½ onion, minced
- 1 cup finely shredded carrots
- ¾ cup finely shredded cabbage
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 60 wonton wrappers
- ¾ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, and cabbage; saute until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cool for 15 minutes. Add chicken, brown sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, five-spice powder, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until filling is well combined.
- Separate and place wonton wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten edges with water. Fold one corner over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Fold 2 corners over to meet in the center; press together, squeezing out as much air from the center as you can.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Set a wire rack on a baking sheet.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add 6 to 8 potstickers; cook until golden brown, flipping once halfway, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons chicken broth to the skillet. Steam, covered, until potstickers are no longer pink on the inside, about 1 minute. Transfer to the wire rack.
- Place baking sheet in the preheated oven to keep potstickers warm. Cook remaining potstickers with the remaining oil and chicken broth.
