This recipe is one my sister and I make all the time. You remember those dishes when you were a kid that would get trotted out once a fortnight? - Well this is one my kids will surely remember, because we make them all the time.
These pork or chicken pot stickers are quick, easy, cheap and sure to be scoffed entirely by everyone both young and old. They are no fuss, not fancy, messy - but they are bloody delicious. I actually learnt this recipe back in high school when in my home economics class - if i'm making them and can be bothered, I often make a double or triple batch - they freeze well and it saves you making them for next time! (just make sure you have baking paper between them or they will stick together)
I usually serve them with some Chinese broccoli and oyster sauce, but they are just as good on their own!
Enjoy, L xx
CHICKEN OR PORK POT STICKER RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
1x 500g packet of chicken or pork mince (I prefer pork, but chicken works well too)
1x packet of wonton skins (fresh pasta section at woolies, where you find ravioli etc)
1x bunch of spring onion
1x bunch coriander
2x red chillies
3 garlic cloves - diced
A knob of fresh ginger - grated
2 or 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce
Cornflour, for sticking
1L Chicken Stock
Olive Oil
METHOD
Prep your ingredients, dice your garlic, chilli and ginger, chop your coriander and spring onions.
Mix all your ingredients together in a mixing bowl (set aside 1x chilli, a few spring onions and some coriander for serving on the top)
Fold a tablespoon or so of mixture into each of your wontons, mix a little bit of cornflour and water and paste onto the outside of the wontons to help stick, fold them as you wish. I just do mine like envelopes, because its the easiest way!
Pour some olive oil into a non stick pan and bring to heat, once warmed, pop your wontons into the pan for a few minutes, or until the bottom starts to brown up. (I usually cook mine in 2 seperate batches)
Add some chicken stock to the pan (only 500ml, set aside the rest for your 2nd batch) - then put your pan lid on and let cook for 5 minutes or so.
Use a spatula to remove the wontons from the pan as they can get stuck onto the pan - pop into a big bowl and scatter your spring onion, chilli and coriander over the top
Serve with soy sauce and enjoy scoffing!!!
