Ingredients

For the Chicken Potstickers

3 cups cabbage coleslaw mix
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
1 egg
1/4 cup diced scallions
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 package (10 to 12 ounces) dumpling wrappers, round
1 tablespoon water, plus more for cooking
1/2 cup olive oil, for frying

For the Soy Dipping Sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

Make Filling

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 3 cups of coleslaw mix and minced garlic. Cook about 5 minutes or until coleslaw is wilted and garlic is fragrant.
In a mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, egg, diced scallions, soy sauce, cooked coleslaw mixture, salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix together until well combined. Set aside.

Form Potstickers

Prepare your workspace by laying out a small pile of potsticker wrappers and filling a small dish with water (to use for sticking the edges of the wrappers together).
Place three wrappers out on the table or work surface. Using your finger, gently wet all the way around the edge of the wrapper. Place roughly 1 teaspoon of chicken mixture in the middle of each.
Start by folding and pinching one end of the wrapper and gently pleat on one side of the wrapper, pressing together the tops of the edges until completely closed. (Use a bit more water to seal the edges if needed).
Place each folded potsticker on a separate plate or baking sheet until all are completed. Once all are folded, you can either cook right away or freeze for later use (see notes below).

Cook Potstickers

If cooking all of the potstickers at the same time, you will need to cook your potstickers in batches.
For your first batch, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Place 12 potstickers (pleated-side up) in the frying pan and cook uncovered for 3 minutes or until the bottoms are nicely browned. Then, add 4 cups of water in the pan and cover. Continue cooking for 6 minutes.
Uncover and flip the potstickers to the other side. Continue to cook for an additional 4 minutes. Repeat in small batches until all the potstickers are cooked.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve.

Make Dipping Sauce

Combine all ingredients for the dipping sauce in a small dish.
Serve with warm potstickers and enjoy!

Notes

Makes 32-40 potstickers.
