Lemongrass Chicken Pot Stickers
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 Tablespoons Ginger, Minced
- 2 stalks Lemongrass
- 1/4 Red Pepper
- 2 Green Onions
- 1 whole Chicken Breast
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha Hot Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 24 Gyoza Potsticker Wrappers
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- 1/2 cups Water
- Start by finely mincing the garlic, ginger, lemongrass stalks (extra fine), red pepper and green onion and set them aside.
- Then chop/mince the chicken breastmake sure you cut it into tiny pieces (or you can use ground chicken to save you time and the trouble).
- Scoop it up into a mixing bowl.
- Into the chicken add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, red pepper, green onion, sesame oil, soy sauce and sriracha.
- Mix all the ingredients up well with the chicken.
- Then season it with a scant spoon of salt.
- Mix well.
- Take a Gyoza wrapper.
- Scoop about 1/2 tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Wet the outer edge of the wrapper with water.
- Then fold the wrapper in half pinching only the center.
- Make a couple folds on both sides of the center towards it.
- Before sealing the end, make sure there arent any air pockets inside and pinch the edges well.
- Repeat the same with the rest of the wrappers.
- To cook the pot stickers, you can steam them in a bamboo steamer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Or, you can heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet (use one with a lid) over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the pot stickers leaving space between each one (you may have to cook them in batches).
- Fry the pot stickers for a couple minutes until the bottom starts turning a little golden brown.
- Then add 1/2 cup of water to the pan and put the lid on immediately.
- Let the pot stickers steam for 10-12 minutes.
- Once they are cooked, take the lid off and let it continue cooking till all the excess water evaporates.
- Serve hot with some soy-ginger dipping sauce
