Instructions
 

Making the Filling

  • Using a food processor
  • I suggest cutting everything up before adding to the food processor. The overall texture will be much better.
  • Chop, shallot, garlic, carrot, red bell pepper, cilantro, green onion, sugar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and shrimp and pulse together. Just enough to bring everything together.
  • Next add in the pork, baking soda, and corn starch. Pulse again till combined.
  • Refrigerate for a minimum of one hour.

Folding The Potstickers

  • I suggest watching the video above
  • Start by taking a small enough portion of filling as to not overall fill the potsticker wrapper.
  • Cover the outer ring of the wrapper with water, the water acts as the glue.
  • On one side make 4 pinches. Start by folding over on top of the same side making a z shape pattern. PInch down the crease.
  • After all 4 Z creases are made, pull the front middle over on top to the side with the Z pattern and pinch in the middle. Working your way down one side pinch together matching up the seams, then repeat on the other side and place on a floured cookie sheet.

Cooking the Potstickers

  • In a skillet, add 3 tbsps of peanut oil. or whichever oil you like.
  • Bring to medium heat then add the potstickers. Cook till the bottoms brown nicely. About 2 minutes. Using a cover, shield yourself and add in enough water to cover by ⅓ of the way up the potstickers. Cook for around 6 to 7 minutes and then serve with dipping sauce.
