Pot Stickers are one appetizer I love to order when we eat out. I don’t know if it is the wonton wrapper, the filling or the sauce that I love the most. It really is just the combination of all three together. Although I eat them as an appetizer when I eat out, at home they are a meal. Pair these with a vegetable and you have a great meal! These are pretty easy to make but they are time consuming, probably why they cost so much in a restaurant.

Slice the green onions thin.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Grate the ginger.

In a small bowl add the ground pork,

green onion and ginger.

Mix well, I do this with my hands.

Open one end of the wonton wrappers and

place a damp towel on top as they dry out fast.

Keep them covered until you use them all up.

Lay one wonton wrapper on a sheet of waxed paper.

Place a rounded teaspoon of the ground

pork in the center. If you put too much

the wrapper will tear.

Using your finger and water, wet

all four edges of the wrapper.

Fold the wrapper over the pork to form a triangle.

Place the pot sticker on a baking sheet

lined with parchment paper.

Completely cover the pot stickers

with a large damp dish towel.

Continue making them one at a time and keep them

completely covered with the damp towel as soon

as you add each one to the baking sheet.

When they are all made up, boil about 3 quarts

of water. Once it boils carefully place a few

pot stickers in making sure they do not touch. I

was able to cook 6 at a time in my pan. Boil for

5 minutes, turning them over halfway through.

Remove the pot stickers carefully with a slotted

spoon and one at a time as they tear easily. Place

them on paper towel and then careful place them

on a baking sheet that is covered with waxed paper.

In a large skillet melt the butter.

Cook over medium heat until

golden brown on both sides.

In a small saucepan combine the sauce ingredients

and cook over medium high heat until the

sugar dissolves and the sauce is hot.

Place the pot stickers in a serving dish and

drizzle the sauce over the top then serve.
