Chicken Pot Stickers
This is something we have on a rare occasion. There’s a couple reasons: 1 – they are a lot of work, 2 – they are not the cleanest of recipes… If you are in the mood for a treat meal and have some time on your hands I definitely recommend you try these. They are a hit every time I make them.
Chicken Pot Stickers
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Thai hot chili paste
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 30 dumpling or wonton wrappers
Directions
In a hot pan saute ground chicken, garlic, ginger and shallots together until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Drain off the excess fat and mix the chicken together in a bowl with the peanut butter, brown sugar, chili paste, basil and cilantro. Chill the mixture, and then wrap in wonton wrappers. Bring the edges into a corner or simply fold into triangles, using a dab of water to “glue” the edges. In a pot fitted with a steamer basket, bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil. Steam the pot stickers in the steamer basket for 8 to 10 minutes until the wrappers are translucent, and serve with chili mint dipping sauce.
