Recipe

Serving 12 pieces
Prep time: 35 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

For the filling:
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
¼ teaspoon ginger
1/10 teaspoon salt
1/10 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon sesame oil

For the potstickers:
24 wonton wrappers, or replace with regular dumpling wrappers
24 spinach dumpling wrappers, or replace with regular dumpling wrappers
1 cup water, for sealing
2 tablespoons oil, for pan-frying
¾ cup water, for steaming

For the dipping sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinkiang vinegar, or other types of vinegar
1 tablespoon chili oil

Instructions

To make the filling:

• In a food processor, add the deveined shrimp, and blend until it becomes a paste (or mince it with a knife).
• Then add the ginger, salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Mix well.

To assemble the potstickers:

• Place a wonton wrapper flat, and brush a ring of water around the edge. Lay another wonton wrapper over the edge, so it slightly overlaps, and brush water around the edge. Repeat with 2 more spinach dumpling wrappers.
• Scoop about 1/2 teaspoon of the filling on the center of each wrapper.
• Fold and seal each wrapper from the bottom to the top. Roll the potsticker from one end to another. Do the same with the rest.

To pan-fry and steam the potstickers:

• In a pan over medium heat, add the oil, and place in the potstickers. Pan-fry until the bottom is lightly brown for 1 minute.
• To prevent splattering, cover the lid halfway, and pour the water into the pan.
• Cover the lid completely, and steam until the water is mostly evaporated for 7 minutes.

To make the dipping sauce and serve:

• In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Chinkiang vinegar, and chili oil.
• Serve the potstickers with the dipping sauce. Enjoy!
