Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground chicken
- 150 grams Firm tofu
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 pieces Pot sticker wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Press firmly to remove as much moisture as possible, then crumble it into small pieces.
Step 2
Finely chop green onions and mince garlic and ginger.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, crumbled tofu, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Lay out the pot sticker wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
Step 5
Moisten the edges of a wrapper with water, fold it over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal. Pleat the edges for a decorative touch if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully arrange the pot stickers in the pan in a single layer without overcrowding.
Step 7
Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 8
Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover the pan with a lid. Let the pot stickers steam until the water has evaporated, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the lid and let the pot stickers continue to cook for another minute to re-crisp the bottoms.
Step 10
Serve the pot stickers hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
