Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 pieces scallions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 40 pieces wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup soy sauce (for the dipping sauce)
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 pieces scallions, thinly sliced (for the dipping sauce)
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for the dipping sauce)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon zest, soy sauce, chopped scallions, and toasted sesame oil. Mix well until combined.

Step 2

2. Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and place 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

3. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper over to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal tightly. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

Step 4

4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the pot stickers in a single layer in the skillet, flat-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 5

5. Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Let the pot stickers steam for 6-8 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the water has evaporated. Remove from skillet and set aside. Repeat with the remaining pot stickers, adding more oil as needed.

Step 6

6. To make the dipping sauce, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sliced scallions, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl.

Step 7

7. Serve the pot stickers hot with the soy scallion dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
