Kelly's Pot Stickers
"I adapted this recipe from the back of the package of wonton wrappers. They can be a little "putsy" to make, but SO good - I get asked to make them again & again! Be creative with the meats & veggies - chicken or shrimp will work. Add any other firm veggies you have on hand - celery, beans sprouts, water chestnuts, etc. You can make these ahead & just reheat for guests. Enjoy!!!"

Hey Kelly--these are soooo good! I made them exactly as stated in the recipe. I cooked them as you described, with only one minor problem. I used a 12 inch skillet, and the 1/3 cup of broth wasn't enough to last the 8 minutes for steaming, so my first few got a bit dark, but STILL delicious(like I was going to waste them, lol!). So for the next batch, I used 2/3 cup of broth, and they were perfect! The filling is spectacular and very easy to put together. I used the cole slaw mix from the produce dept to save time on shredding cabbage, and left out any pieces that may have been too big--this worked perfectly. You can bet I'll be making these again and again. I can see why you get requests for them! Thanks Kelly! :) -
Definitely 5 star on the taste of the filling, however I changed the assembly a little because I was short on time. I guess they no longer qualified as pot stickers then, but were more like baked rangoon. I browned the pork and put all the veggies in the food processor. Made prep very quick & easy! I then used my mini muffin pan and put a won ton wrapper in each hole and put a teaspoon-full of the mix in each one. I wet my fingers and pinch some of the corners together. I baked them at 350 for 18 minutes. We dipped them in a Pacific Fusion sauce I bought in a jar and they were awesome! I liked that they are baked and not fried for health reasons! -
Very tasty! Thanks leeannr for the hint on broth. I like the fact they can be made ahead without loosing much flavor. This will definitely be a keeper for me. Thank you Kelly! glitter

These were AMAZING! To make all the chopping easier I threw everything in my food processor. My husband and I worked together to stuff the wrappers and it didn't take us long at all. They are even better the next day! We will make these again very soon! -
I made this for my family (which includes some picky eaters) for dinner, and they looooved it! I have to say, they did take a little longer to make than I expected though. I used multiple frying pans to speed up the cooking process. I didn't make the sauce but just dipped the pot stickers in regular soy sauce instead. Yummy!

Can't believe I've been a member here for 18 years! It's changed a lot since the old RecipeZaar days and maybe or maybe not for the better. It used to be a community and now it's just a tool. Sad, but life goes on.
I have been in Kentucky for 12 years now and enjoy the country lifestyle, along with master gardening. Recipes I've found here since Day One are still in my rotation. Don't entertain that much anymore, so finding new and exciting foods is no longer center stage. Just glad to have so many good recipes to fall back on because eating out is expensive and sometimes too far to drive.
