Ingredients

12 ounce won ton wrappers
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Pork Filling

1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon packed fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
¼ cup carrots, finely shredded
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
½ teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon green onions
½ tablespoon chili crisp
4-6 tablespoons sesame oil
4-6 tablespoons water

Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce

⅓ cup sweet chile sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

Pork Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the pork filling, except the sesame oil and water.
Mix everything together.
Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface.
Place a won ton wrapper on the paper, add a heaping teaspoon of pork mixture to the center.
Using your clean hands, dip your finger in water and wet the outer edge of the wrapper.
Take two corners and bring them together, like a taco.
Pinch the sides together to seal completely.
Set each potsticker aside until ready to fry.
In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium high heat.
Reduce heat to medium and add 8-10 potstickers to the hot oil.
Cook approximately 5 minutes on each side, until browned.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the potstickers, and cover with a lid.
Steam for 3-5 minutes over medium low heat until all the water has evaporated.
Repeat with the remaining potstickers.
Add more oil and water with each batch.

Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce

In a small bowl, add sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Whisk until combined.
Optional, toast sesame seeds in a small pan over low heat until lightly browned.
Top with green onions and chili crisp, if desired.
Great for meal prep. Can be frozen.

Notes

Tips

Don't overfill the wrappers. Too much filling can cause them to burst while cooking.
Press firmly to make sure the dumplings stay closed during frying and steaming.
Overcrowding the pan prevents the potstickers from getting crispy.
This keeps the wrappers from burning before the filling cooks through.
