Here are my two favourite fillings for Pot Stickers. The original recipe calls for making your own "noodles" , I don't I use store bought circular won ton wrappers. If you can't get those then I can give you the pastry recipe.

Shrimp Filling

1/2 pound shrimp, deveined
1/2 pound finely ground pork
1/4 cup each chopped green onion, and chopped mushrooms
1 cup fresh bamboo shoots, chopped
1 garlic clove minced
2TBSP oyster sauce or soy sauce

Combine all ingredients. Makes enough for 4 dozen pot stickers.

Pork Filling

1 lb ground pork
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 T grated ginger
1 1/2 T soy sauce
1 T sherry
3/4 tsp sesame oil

Combine all ingredients. Makes 30-40

To assemble the pot stickers place a generous tsp or so of the mixture into the centre of a circular won ton wrapper. Wet the edges and seal in a half moon shape. Pinching the sides as needed. Set pot stickers down firmly, seam side up so the pot sticker sits flat.

Cook 12 at a time. For each batch use 1 TBSP oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Set pot stickers in the pan, seam side up until golden on the bottom. Add a 1/3 cup chicken broth to the pan and cover. Steam for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until all liquid is gone.

Serve hot with soy sauce, and chile oil on the side.

PS: I have several good dipping sauce recipes if you are interested.

oh thank you so much and i would love the sauce recipes

Here you go.

Chili Ginger sauce

1/3 cup chicken broth
2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
1 TBSP dried crushed chile peppers
2 TBSP soy sauce
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 TBSP chopped coriander leaves (I omit)

Combine all ingredients mixing well.

Plum Sesame Sauce

1/2 cup plum sauce (store bought)
1 tsp sesame oil
1/3 cup chicken broth.

Combine all ingredients mixing well.

I make another sauce that is a combo of soy sauce, rice vinegar and minced garlic. No recipe but I'd say 1/4 vinegar to 3/4 soy sauce...I go by taste.

Sounds like someone had a Lunar New Year's party
