Pork and Chive Pot Stickers

Pork and Chive Pot Stickers

Ingredients:

• 2 med. carrots, finely chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup water chestnuts, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup minced fresh chives
• 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
• 3 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1 lb. ground pork
• 60 pot sticker or gyoza wrappers
• 3 Tbsp. canola oil, divided
• 1 cup chicken broth, divided
• Optional: additional reduced-sodium soy sauce and minced fresh chives

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients.
2. Add pork and mix lightly but thoroughly. Working with a few at a time, place 1 scant tablespoon filling in center of each wrapper. Cover remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.
3. Moisten wrapper edges with water. Fold wrapper over filling; seal edges, pleating the front side several times to form a pleated pouch. Stand pot stickers on a work surface to flatten bottoms; curve slightly to form crescent shapes if desired.
4. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Arrange a third of the pot stickers in concentric circles in pan, flat side down; cook until bottoms are golden brown, 1-2 minutes.
5. Carefully add 1/3 cup broth (broth may splatter); reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, until broth is almost absorbed and filling is cooked through, 2-3 minutes.
6. Cook, uncovered, until bottoms are crisp and water is completely evaporated, about 1 minute.
7. Repeat with remaining oil, pot stickers and broth.
