Hello, my peeps. ...or, a ...Becky's peeps. Anyway...
Here's what happened:
We had these won-tons that Becky ended up not using in another recipe. Plus, we had all these other ingredients at home, so I volunteered to make potstickers. After all, they're yummy, and my buddy, Josh, had made pot-stickers before and said that it wasn't too hard and that I should try to do it myself sometime. Well, I did, and Becky & Barbara can't stop eating or raving about them. All I did was look up a couple recipes online for some pointers, and then (of course) I did my own thing, which was this:
Yummy! Ready to Serve! |
Rob's Pot-stickers
1.25 lbs ground turkey
1.5 cups of whole leaf young spinach, finely chopped
3/4 cups finely shredded carrots
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
1 egg
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ginger
5 shakes Szechuan pepper
3-4 shakes of cayenne pepper (coulda used more, I think)
3 shakes Chinese 5-spice
Watch out!! Raw meat involved. |
1 12oz package won-ton wrappers
Water, to seal the won-tons
Coconut oil (for frying)
1.25 cups chicken broth
The following process takes a bit over an hour.
Directions:
The one I'm preparing here has too much meat mixture. |
- Mix the first list of ingredients (from the turkey to the Chinese 5-spice) in a bowl until evenly mixed.
- Drop a little less than a tablespoon onto a won-ton wrapper.
- Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, and press them together.(Repeat until you run out of meat mixture or won-tons.)
- Coat the bottom of a large frying/sauce pan on medium heat.
- Place several potstickers in the pan, leaving room to turn them over.
- Cover and cook for 90 seconds, or so.
- Turn them over, and cook for another minute
- Add a quarter cup of chicken broth.
- Cook uncovered for one more minute. (Total time in pan is 3.5 to 4 minutes.)
- Breifly rinse and scrape the pan out, and place it back on the stove.
- When dryish, add bit more coconut oil, and cook another batch.
Repeat the following steps until all the won-tons are cooked.
These look amazing Rob!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! A purist would use ground pork, but, you know, it's the 21st century!
