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
  • 1/2 teaspoon Johnny's Chicken and Pork Seasoning
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 60 pot sticker or gyoza wrappers
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 cup chicken broth, divided
  • Optional: Fresh chives, Johnny's Firecracker Dipping Sauce

Directions

  1. 1. Put carrots, onions, chestnuts, chives, egg, soy sauce, pepper and Johnny's Chicken and Pork Seasoning sizable mixing bowl.

  2. 2. Gently fold the pork into the mix
  3. 3. Prepare the dumpling wrappers by placing a small amount, roughly a tablespoon, of the filling into the center of each wrapper. Keep the unused wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
  4. 4. Dampen the edges of each wrapper with water to facilitate sealing.
  5. 5. Carefully fold the wrapper over the filling to create a seal. Implement pleats on the front side of each dumpling to craft a pouch. Arrange the dumplings so they stand upright, pressing down slightly to flatten the bottom. Bend them into a crescent shape for added presentation if you wish.
  6. 6. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium-high setting.
  7. 7. Place a batch of the dumplings in the pan, arranging them so that the flat sides are touching the surface. Fry until the bottoms turn a golden hue, which should take about 1-2 minutes. Flip sides and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. 8. Introduce 1/3 cup of broth to the pan. Lower the heat to a medium-low and cover. Let cook until the broth nearly evaporates and the dumplings are thoroughly cooked, which will take approximately 2-3 minutes.
  9. 9. Remove the cover and continue cooking until the dumplings' bottoms are crisp and all the liquid has evaporated, about another minute.
  10. 11. Optionally, you can garnish the potstickers with chives, or use Johnny's Firecracker Sauce and/or soy sauce as a dipping sauce.
