Pork Potstickers

Pork Potstickers

I was craving Asian food so I headed over to Damn Delicious for some inspiration and found a recipe for these pork potstickers that looked irresistible. Although they are a bit time-consuming to make, they are SO worth the effort. My kids and husband couldn’t stop eating them while I was taking photographs for this recipe and we all think they are amazing. I served them with my potsticker dipping sauce along with some steamed jasmine rice and some edamame for a delicious and healthy meal that my entire family enjoyed.

Fold the potsticker to make a moon shape and pinch shut with 4 to 5 pleats along the side. Really make sure they are sealed, so the filling doesn’t fall out.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan. Once hot, add the potstickers and cook until the bottoms are golden brown. Add 3-4 tablespoons of water and cover with a lid. Steam for 3-5 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated and the bottoms are crisp and golden; remove from pan to a serving tray. Repeat with the remainder of potstickers and oil. Place on a plate and drizzle with a bit of soy sauce and chili oil, to taste, then sprinkle the top with fresh cilantro and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
