Chinese Pan-fried Dumplings (Potstickers)

Directions

• Finely chop the green chillies.
• In 1 tsp oil, fry the green chillies and minced garlic for 1 min. Set aside to cool.
• Marinade the chicken mince in all the ingredients (for at least 30 minutes).
• Separate the wonton sheets.
• Place about 1 tsp of the chicken mixture on a wonton sheet.
• Shape the dumplings and set aside.
• Once all the dumplings are folded, heat some oil in a heavy-based frying pan.
• Add 8-10 dumplings flat side down (so they’re not over-crowded). Cook on medium heat for about 2-3 mins (till the bases are lightly golden).
• Turn off the flame and add water. Turn flame back on and cook (covered) on medium-low for roughly 6-8 minutes (until the water has dried up and the filling has cooked through). If more water is needed, add about 2-3 tablespoons of water and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
• Once cooked, transfer the dumplings (golden side up) to a serving plate and serve with a dipping sauce of your choice. Here’s a recipe for a soy dipping sauce I love pairing with these dumplings!
