GLUTEN-FREE POTSTICKERS RECIPE

Making the gluten-free wonton wrappers from scratch is not a big task. I usually allocate a day of the month and make a few batches, so I have them ready when the cravings arise for potstickers or dumplings.

Unfortunately, our local Chinese restaurant doesn't offer gluten-free potstickers, so I like to have them on hand. You can also buy them online, but for the price, the effort is so worth it. I can also control what's added to my fillings.

HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE POTSTICKERS

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix gf soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, ginger, salt, garlic, and white pepper. Mix well.
2. Add the green onions, cabbage, carrot, and mushroom. Mix.
3. Add the chicken and the filling is done.
4. On a floured-flat surface, put a gluten-free wonton wrapper. Add a spoonful of chicken filling. Using a pastry brush, brush the edges of each wrapper lightly with water, then fold it in half.
5. Pinch the edges to seal the dumpling.
6. Heat 3 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange the dumpling in a single layer (you may cook them in batches). Cook until all the potstickers are gold and the bottoms are crisp (about 1-2 minutes).
7. Add around ¼ cup water to the pan and cover. Cook for 5 minutes more or until they’re cooked through.
8. Uncover the skillet then cook until all the water evaporates and the potsticker is crisp. Moving around when needed so the potsticker won't get burned.
9. How to make the dipping sauce: mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
10. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
