Chicken Potstickers

Print Recipe

Delicious homemade chicken potstickers with crispy bottoms and savory fillings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g chicken thighs or minced chicken
  • 1 package thin dumpling wrappers
  • 1/4 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 5–6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/4 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 – 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp MSG

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken thighs in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. Mix cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry, and then add it to the bowl with the chicken.
  3. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, MSG, and cumin to the bowl. Mix everything until it becomes sticky and uniform in texture.
  4. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings if needed before filling the wrappers.
  5. Take a tablespoon of the filling and place it in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper, fold it over the filling, and seal it tightly. You can freeze the sealed potstickers at this point if you like.
  6. To cook, heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the potstickers flat side down and cook until the bottoms are golden brown.
  7. Add water to the pan, cover it, and let them steam until the water evaporates.
  8. Remove the lid, allow the bottoms to brown a bit more, then serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze them before cooking.
