I Learned How to Make Chicken Potstickers and You Should Too

Ever wondered how chicken potstickers are made? Well, I finally learned a great chicken potsticker recipe and it’s 100x better than the ones you order at restaurants. This summer, my boss, who has become my friend, came over to my house so she could teach me her recipe. The whole process was so much fun and I’m so excited to share with you what she taught me. What’s great about potstickers is that you can use anything for the filling, so whatever protein and veggies are in your fridge will work just fine. 

Chicken Potstickers

Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: 10 minutesCook time: 15 minutesTotal time: 25 minutesServings:6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 block dehydrated tofu
• 6 cabbage leaves
• 2 green onions
• 1 package thin rice noodles
• 1 tsp. garlic
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1 package potsticker dough
• vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water
• soy sauce

Instructions

1. 
   

   Boil the noodles in a pot for 2 minutes. Drain them, then soak them in water for another 5 minutes. Strain the noodles and add them to the food processor.

2. 
   

   Add the green onion, tofu, and cabbage to the food processor and pulse the ingredients for 2 minutes. Then add the garlic, salt, pepper, and chicken and pulse for another 4 minutes.

3. 
   

   Lay out the potsticker dough and lightly brush water on to one half of the potsticker dough.

4. 
   

   Take a spoonful of the filling and place it in the center of the dough. To close the potsticker you can simply fold over the dough until it’s closed or use your fingers to crimp the edges.

5. 
   

   Heat up vegetable oil in large non-stick pan on medium heat. Place the potstickers on the pan and let the bottoms fry for about 3 minutes until golden brown.

6. 
   

   Once the bottoms are lightly browned, add water to the pan and cover it with lid. They should cook for about 8 minutes until the dough is transparent.

7. 
   

   Remove the potstickers from heat and serve. Use the soy sauce for dipping.

So now you have an easy, fun, fresh, and crispy chicken potsticker recipe to bring to parties or share with friends. My family and I devoured all 50 of the potstickers in less than 20 minutes and now we make them all the time. Also, if you’re more of a beef person you can switch out the protein and add any veggie combo you’d like. Whatever you’ve got in your fridge will probably work, so grab some friends and make this recipe. Everyone will love the preparation and cooking process just as much as eating them.
