I love dumplings/pot stickers and these are seriously good. From Canadian LCBO's Food and Drink Magazine. I am sure that these would work with chicken or turkey instead of pork. You can freeze these dumplings for an easy plan-ahead appetizer / snack / dinner. Serve with Recipe #397489.

Number Of Ingredients 12

500 g extra lean ground pork
1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated
1 cup shiitake mushroom, finely chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Keep the dumplings covered with dampened tea towel while working.
  • Place a bamboo steamer in a large pot and add enough water to come just below the base of the bottom steamer.
  • Line each basket with a single layer of cabbage leaves to prevent the dumplings from sticking; important, do not omit or you will be eating of the steamer :).

3/4 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined and finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped peeled jicama or water chestnuts

  • Set 1 dumpling wrapper on a clean surface (keep the rest covered with a damp paper towel so they don't dry out). Stir the shrimp mixture, then scoop 1 heaping teaspoonful onto the center of the wrapper. Dab a finger in a cup of cold water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold in half and press the edges together to seal; transfer to a baking sheet. Cover with a damp paper towel while you form the remaining dumplings.
  • Fill a large nonstick skillet with 1/4 inch of water and bring to a boil. Working in batches, add the dumplings and arrange in a single layer, cover and let steam until cooked through, about 5 minutes. (If the water evaporates before the dumplings are fully cooked, add 2 more tablespoons to the skillet.) Carefully transfer the dumplings to a serving plate.
  • Ponzu Dipping Sauce
