Pot Stickers Recipe

• 1/2 pound ground turkey or extra lean beef
• 1 cup cabbage, finely minced
• 2 green onions -- minced
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
• 1/2 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
• cornstarch
• 40 Wonton skins, cut into 2-inch squares
• 4 teaspoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water

Combine turkey, cabbage, onion, egg, soy sauce, orange peel and chili oil (opt) in a large bowl and mix well.

Dust a plate or cutting board with cornstarch. Set a rounded teaspoon of filling in center of a wonton skin, pressing lightly so filling forms a narrow band across the middle. Moisten the rim of skin with water. Bring opposite sides together to form a semi circle. Pinch corners together. Make 3 or 4 pleats along the edge to seal. Transfer pot sticker to the prepared plate or cutting board. Repeat for each pot sticker.

Place 2 heavy 12-inch nonstick skillets over low heat. Add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to each. Arrange pot stickers in rows, fitting closely together. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Add 1/2 cup water to each pan and cover immediately. Let steam until skins are translucent, about 3 minutes. Drain and transfer with a slotted spoon to serving dish.

Serve immediately with rice vinegar or soy sauce.
