Pork & Chive Pot Stickers
Pork & chive pot stickers are delicious pan-fried dumplings filled with a savory mixture of ground pork, fresh chives, garlic, and ginger. Crispy on the bottom and tender on top, they’re typically served with a tangy soy-based dipping sauce. These flavorful bites are a favorite appetizer or snack in Asian cuisine.
Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped water chestnuts
- 1/3 cup minced fresh chives
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound ground pork
- 60 pot sticker or gyoza wrappers
- 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 cup chicken broth, divided
- Optional: Additional reduced-sodium soy sauce and minced fresh chives
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Add pork; mix lightly but thoroughly. Working with a few at a time, place 1 scant tablespoon filling in center of each wrapper. (Cover remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.)
- Moisten wrapper edges with water. Fold wrapper over filling; seal edges, pleating the front side several times to form a pleated pouch. Stand pot stickers on a work surface to flatten bottoms; curve slightly to form crescent shapes if desired.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Arrange a third of the pot stickers in concentric circles in pan, flat side down; cook until bottoms are golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Carefully add 1/3 cup broth (broth may splatter); reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, until broth is almost absorbed and filling is cooked through, 2-3 minutes.
- Cook, uncovered, until bottoms are crisp and water is completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining oil, pot stickers and broth. If desired, serve with additional soy sauce and chives.
