Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
  • tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • teaspoons ketchup
  • teaspoon yellow mustard
  • teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 35-40 small wonton wrapper
  • water, for sealing wontons
  • 3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 1/3 cups chicken stock, divided
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
    2. 2
      Combine the first 11 ingredients in a medium-size mixing bowl (pork through cayenne). Set aside.
    3. 3
      To form the dumplings, remove 1 wonton wrapper from the package, covering the others with a damp cloth. Brush 2 of the edges of the wrapper lightly with water. Place 1/2 rounded teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold over, seal edges, and shape as desired. Set on a sheet pan and cover with a damp cloth. Repeat procedure until all of the filling is gone.
    4. 4
      Heat a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Brush with vegetable oil once hot. Add 8 to 10 potstickers at a time to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, without touching. Once the 2 minutes are up, gently add 1/3 cup chicken stock to the pan, turn the heat down to low, cover, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove wontons to a heatproof platter and place in the warm oven. Clean the pan in between batches by pouring in water and allowing the pan to deglaze. Repeat until all the wontons are cooked. Serve immediately.

    We made these as an appetizer for a Christmas party we attended recently. Everyone loved them! After assembling the potstickers, we boiled them & then fried for a few minutes to crisp them up. Served with a nice ginger-hoisin sauce.

    these are right on the money in my book. Couldn't be any easier & they are delicious. I too, froze them on the cookie sheet & bagged once frozen, makes the effort well worth it.

    I have been making these for years after I saw Alton's show and they are incredible! Easy to make and taste wonderful! I have also prepared the filling and stuffed the wontons, then flash froze them on cookie sheet, and bag them when frozen. Just take them out 30 minutes before planning to cook them, and they are great.

    These are ABSOLUTELY fabulous! I have made them MANY, MANY times. They are really good and simple to make. It takes a little while to assemble them, but it is worth the little effort. I was just heading over to Foodnetwork to print this recipe, I should know it off by heart by now and thought I'd look and seee — so glad you posted it! Definately give these a try. BTW, you can make the filling up and freeze it, then you just need to thaw it out and fill the wontons, I usually keep some in the freezer for a quick potsticker fix!
