You can make you own frozen potstickers by assembling potstickers and then freezing them uncooked. To freeze the potstickers, line a plate with parchment paper (so they won’t stick), put assembled potstickers on parchment paper in a single layer so they are not touching and put in a freezer for 1 hour. Then put the frozen potstickers in a large ziploc bag and put back in a freezer until ready to use. To cook homemade potstickers from frozen, cook them the exact same way as fresh except just add an extra 5 minutes to cooking time. Enjoy!
These homemade potstickers taste so much better than store-bought! This potstickers recipe is very easy and straight-forward, anyone can make them! You can make these potstickers with chicken or pork, depending on your preference. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken or pork
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp freshly ginger, grated
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 package round wonton wrappers (about 45)
Instructions
- Make the filling for the potstickers
- Put ground chicken or pork, shredded cabbage, garlic, green onion, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl and mix together until well combined.
- Assemble the potstickers
- Fill a small bowl with water and set aside.
- Arrange wonton wrappers on a work surface like a table or counter.
- Put 1 tbsp of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Dip your finger in the water and run around the edges of each wonton wrapper to moisten it.
- Fold the wrappers in half over the filling (to create a half-moon shape), then pinch the edges of the wrappers together to seal them.
- Cook the potstickers
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat (to speed up the process, I use 2 frying pans at the same time).
- Put the potstickers in a frying pan in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes. Carefully flip potstickers with a spatula. Add ¼ cup of water to the frying pan. Cover and cook for 4 minutes.
- Serve the potstickers with soy sauce for dipping.
