Ingredients

  1. 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  2. 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  3. 3 scallions, chopped
  4. 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  5. 1 egg
  6. 40 round wonton or gyoza wrappers
  7. 3 tablespoons peanut oil
  8. 1/3 cup ponzu
  9. 1 scallion, minced
  10. 1 teaspoon chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
  11. 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
  12. 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Potstickers: In a food processor, add the shrimp, garlic, scallions, soy sauce and egg. Pulse until combined but still chunky. Remove the mixture to a bowl. To assemble the potstickers, put about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the rim of the wrapper with water. Fold the dough until the ends meet and press the air out of the center towards the edges. Seal by pressing firmly. This is the simplest way.
  2. To make the classic pleated look: using your thumb and index finger, pinch the corner of the unsealed wonton closed. Using your other hand pull a bit of the unsealed wonton edge toward the pinched corner and pinch to make a slight pleat in the wrapper, continue to pull the loose wrapper in and pleating until you run out of space, then push the air out through the final opening and pinch together. Repeat for the rest of the wontons. You can freeze them at this point on a baking sheet first, and then transfer to a freezer bag.
  3. Dipping sauce: Stir all the ingredients together in a small serving bowl.
  4. When ready to cook the potstickers, add oil to a large saute pan. When oil begins to swirl, add potstickers to the pan and cook until golden brown on 1 side. Flip and add 3 ice cubes. Immediately cover the pan to let the potstickers steam and cook through, about 3 minutes. Remove to a large platter and serve with dipping sauce.

Flavorful. Followed reviewers suggestion and added grated ginger & a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling. Also, found wonton wrappers produced tiny pot stickers.
Patricia Mayer
These came out great! I added cabbage and ginger to the filling!
Dr. Kevin Meyer
So easy and extremely tasty!
Robin Hernandez
A question:  is the egg hard boiled or raw when put in the food processor?
Christopher Donaldson
Awesome

Loved this recipe. Using a potsticker crimping tool made it a snap to assemble the potstickers. After I crimped them, I turned them 45 deg and flattened the bottom. I browned them only on the flat bottom then steamed them. Perfect! https://goo.gl/images/9vhjVe

Very good. First time that I’ve made potstickers. It took a lot longer than I thought to make all of them, since they’re so small. They were very good though. Added Ginger as mentioned in some of the reviews. Will make them again, but maybe bigger ones.
Matthew Crawford
Awesome. The dipping sauce was delicious. You should really use the Panzu

This is a pretty good basic recipe with which to experiment. I added a teaspoon of fresh grated ginger and a pinch of dried pepper flakes. I used 1/2 pound of shrimp and substituted 1/2 pound of ground pork. These potstickers were fabulous. With all shrimp, they are a little pricey and bland. Use what you like best. Thanks, Sunny!
