Easy Shrimp Potstickers Recipes

Steps:

• Filling Prep:.
• Puree raw shrimp in food processor until a smooth paste forms.
• Add carrot, green onion, ginger, garlic, salt, sugar and pulse a couple of times.
• Measure a heaping Tbls of filling into the center of wonton wrapper, brush beaten egg on top of the four edges and bring corners together and press to seal. Let sit in refrigerator for 10 min so that the egg glue sets.
• Prepare a steamer with hot water. Once steaming drop a couple dumplings in and steam for 15 minutes -- remove.
• Serve with Sauce:.
• Make sauce by simmering ingredients over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.
• Delicious served hot or cold.

Steps:

• Place 2 1/2 cups flour for dough in a bowl. Add salt and hot water and stir with a wooden spoon until it all comes together into a shaggy dough. Transfer to a work surface and knead until dough is very soft but not super sticky. Knead, roll, and stretch dough until smooth and fairly elastic, about 3 more minutes. Wrap dough with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine shrimp, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and Sriracha in a non-reactive bowl; toss until shrimp are thoroughly and evenly covered. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, chile sauce, and green onions for dipping sauce in a bowl. Stir and set aside until needed.
• Unwrap dough and cut off a small piece. Roll it into a ball and then press it into a flat disc on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll it into a 3 1/2-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Dip your finger into some cold, fresh water and moisten the edge of the circle. Spoon 1 shrimp into the center, along with a little bit of green onion and marinade. Fold dough around the shrimp and press edges together until perfectly sealed. Trim any excess dough from the ends and either discard or reuse. Crimp the edges a bit with your fingers, if desired. Transfer to a flour-dusted plate and refrigerate while you assemble the remaining potstickers.
• Brush a 10-inch nonstick pan with 2 teaspoons oil and place over medium-high heat. Once hot, place 6 potstickers in the pan with the flat sides down. Cook for 1 minute, then add 2 teaspoons butter to the pan. Tilt the pan as the butter melts to distribute it evenly and cook until the bottoms of the potstickers are golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons water and quickly cover with the lid. Steam dumplings until cooked through and most of the water has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and repeat to cook the remaining 6 potstickers with remaining oil and butter.
• Serve immediately with dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Whip the egg whites and cornstarch together in a small bowl.;
• In a large bowl, mix all filling ingredients together.
• Lay 12 wrappers on flat surface. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of filling in center of each. Wet edges with egg wash, bring all sides to the center and pinch together.
• Steam potstickers in a steaming pan for 6 to 8 minutes. Do not stack. Handle carefully when ready to remove from the pan.
• In a large skillet heat peanut oil and sear potstickers until golden and crisp.
• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and serve with potstickers;

Steps:

• Make dumplings:
• Stir together 1 1/2 cups flour and lukewarm water (1/2 cup) in a bowl until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface, adding more flour as needed if dough is sticky, until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Dust dough lightly with flour and cover with an inverted bowl, then let stand at room temperature at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour (to let gluten relax).
• If using fresh water chestnuts, scrub very well, then peel with a sharp paring knife and rinse. Cover fresh water chestnuts with 1 1/2 cups water in a 1-quart saucepan and bring to a boil, then boil until chestnuts are crisp-tender and slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to cool.
• Cut fresh or canned water chestnuts into 1/4-inch dice and put in a medium bowl along with shrimp, pork, scallions, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Knead mixture with your hands until just combined, then chill, covered, 10 minutes.
• While shrimp mixture chills, line a large baking sheet with paper towels and dust lightly with flour, then lightly dust work surface with flour. Halve dough and cover 1 half with inverted bowl. Pat remaining half into a flat square, then roll out into a 13-inch square (less than 1/8 inch thick) with a lightly floured rolling pin, dusting work surface with additional flour as needed. Cut out 12 rounds, very close together, using cutter. (If dough sticks to cutter, lightly dip cutter in flour and shake off excess). Reroll scraps if necessary.
• Transfer rounds to lined baking sheet and cover loosely with another layer of paper towels lightly dusted (on top) with flour. Roll out remaining half of dough and cut out 12 more rounds in same manner, then transfer rounds to top layer of paper towels.
• Line another large baking sheet with paper towels and dust lightly with flour. With your hand palm-up, put 1 dough round on fingers near palm, then put 1 tablespoon pork mixture in center of round and fold it over filling to form an open half-moon shape. With a wet finger, moisten border along lower inner edge of round. Using thumb and forefinger of one hand, form 10 to 12 tiny pleats along unmoistened edge of dumpling skin, pressing pleats against moistened border to enclose filling. The moistened border will stay smooth and will automatically curve in a semicircle. Stand dumpling on a baking sheet and form 23 more dumplings in same manner (you may have some filling left over), arranging them in 1 layer, about 1/2 inch apart. Cover loosely with paper towels.
• Make sauce:
• Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, water, and chile oil in a small bowl. Restir just before serving.
• Cook dumplings:
• Heat vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then arrange 7 dumplings, seam sides up, in a tight spiral pattern in center of skillet. Arrange remaining 17 dumplings along outer edge (they should touch one another). Fry dumplings until bottoms are pale golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, tilting skillet to distribute, then cover tightly with a lid and cook until liquid is evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are crisp and golden, 7 to 10 minutes. (Use a spatula to loosen and lift edges to check bottoms; replace lid and continue cooking if necessary, checking after 1 to 2 minutes.) Remove lid and invert a large plate with a rim over skillet. Using pot holders and holding plate and skillet tightly together, invert dumplings onto plate. Serve dumplings immediately, with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Place ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Top with chopped green cabbage. Mix with fork until thoroughly combined. Tamp down lightly; cover with plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour.
• Place flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in hot water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a shaggy dough. Flour your hands and transfer dough to a work surface. Knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If dough seems too sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour, about 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic, and let it rest about 30 minutes.
• When dough has rested, divide into 4 equal pieces. Cover 3 pieces with a dish cloth while you work the first piece. Roll into a small log about the thickness of a thumb, about 3/4 inch. Divide each log into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin 3 1/2-inch circle on a lightly floured surface to form the pot sticker wrappers. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
• Lightly moisten the edges of a wrapper with your wet finger. Place a small scoop of the ground pork mixture onto the center of a wrapper. Fold up the 2 sides and pinch together in the center. Pinch together the remaining edges, forming "pleats" along one side. Tap the pot sticker on the work surface to slightly flatten the bottom; form a slight curve in it so it stands upright in the pan. Transfer to a well-floured plate. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• Mix together seasoned rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl for the dipping sauce.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Place about 6 or 7 pot stickers in the hot oil, flat side down. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in water and quickly cover the pan; steam for 3 minutes. Uncover; reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until water evaporates and bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer to a warm serving dish. Repeat with remaining pot stickers. Serve with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Finely chop 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves. Set aside. Coarsely chop half of the shrimp by hand, and set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine remaining shrimp, egg white, chile oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Puree into a smooth paste. Transfer to a medium bowl, add chopped cilantro, reserved chopped shrimp, carrot, cabbage, ginger, scallions, shallots, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
• Place 1 teaspoon of filling toward the front of a dumpling wrapper. There are two methods of sealing dumplings. Pleating one edge of the wrapper gives the dumpling its distinctive curved shape and allows it to stand upright in the pan. Do this by moistening edges with water using your finger. Bring the edges together, forming a taco shape, and pinch them together only in the top center to seal. Pinch 6 small pleats (3 on either side of the sealed center point) along one thickness only of the wrapper. Seal dumpling by pressing pleated and unpleated edges tightly together, enclosing filling. Alternatively, moisten wrapper edges with water, fold in half into a crescent shape around the filling, and pinch edges tightly closed. While forming dumplings, keep remaining wrappers covered with plastic wrap. Place filled dumplings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and cover with plastic wrap.
• In a small serving bowl, whisk together ingredients for dipping sauce.
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a well-seasoned 11-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Arrange half of the dumplings tightly together in heated skillet, and cook until deep golden brown, shaking the pan one or two times, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 cup hot water, partially cover, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until the bottoms of the dumplings are very crisp and all the water has evaporated, about 4 to 5 more minutes. Slide a spatula under dumplings to loosen them from the pan. Serve this batch of dumplings immediately or place them on a baking sheet, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in a low oven. Wash skillet, and repeat process with remaining dumplings. Transfer to a plate, garnish with remaining cilantro leaves, and serve with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Chop the shrimp; combine all the ingredients for the filling.
• Lay out 6 dough circles, place a spoonful of filling on each side, lightly moisten the edges; fold in half, pinch the edges together well to seal securely.
• Place onto a plate. Cover with a cloth (the dough dries out quickly) and repeat the procedure with the remaining dough circles.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over high heat; reduce the heat to medium and add the dumplings.
• Pan fry until the bottoms become crisp and brown. Add 125 ml (1/2 cup) water. cover and let simmer about 6 minutes, until the liquid has completely evaporated.
• transfer to a plate with the "stuck" side showing. Serve warm with the sauce on the side.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse shrimp until ground. Transfer to a mixing, bowl. Add scallions, egg, salt and pepper., Place 1 level teaspoon shrimp mixture onto each wonton wrapper. Brush edge with water and fold into a half moon to seal., In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the dumplings seam side up and cook 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, cover and let steam 3 to 4 minutes. Cook the dumplings a few minutes longer with the lid off if they are sticking to the pan. Repeat with other half of the dumplings., For dipping sauce: Whisk lemon juice, soy sauce, barbecue sauce, ginger and sesame oil. Stir in scallion.
