Pot Stickers are a fun finger food and delicious. Pull the won ton noodles Won Ton Noodles from scratch out of the freezer you may have already made and let them thaw till you can bend them without them breaking. The link for the recipe is above if you want to make them fresh. If you don't want to make the noodles yourself, then you can buy pre-made noodles in the store.
Pot sticker filling:
1 1/2 lb of ground pork or beef -if you don't have ground meat, it is easy to grind up in your food processor. Just make sure it is room temperature, it grinds better that way.
1 lb of mild andouille sausage, remove the casing-ask the butcher if you aren't familiar with it.
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup grated bok choy or other cabbage
1 T soy sauce
1/4 tsp chinese five spice powder-can omit if you don't have it.
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Knead all of the ingredients together well.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of one won ton noodle.
Brush 2 edges of the noodle with water lightly then fold over and seal together.
After filling all of the noodles, cook in a pot of boiling water.
Place 5 or 6 at a time in the water and let cook for 5 minutes. Drain on a baking rack over paper towels.
Once all of the pot stickers are cooked, let them dry a bit on the rack.
You can eat them as is or for extra texture, fry them up in a skillet with 1 T of oil to give them a crusty exterior.
Dip in 2 T of soy sauce with 2 tsp of sugar mixed in.
Enjoy!
