Last night I had two little helpers making pot stickers with me. They were so delicious and so very fun to make with the boys. At one point (when I was about to kick everyone out of the kitchen and blow my cool) Avery took it upon himself to teach Emile the right way to construct and fold a pot sticker. For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that he was actually capable of learning something so precise, but Avery knew better! He stepped it up and showed me how it's done. I'm so proud of him!!! They were a bit messy but absolutely scrumptious!You need:
1 package of won ton wrappers
1/2 cup terryaki sauce- I use Soy Vay brand
1 chopped onion
1/2 chopped bell pepper
shredded cabbage
1/2 cup of broccoli slaw
shredded zucchini
shredded carrots
baby peas
bean sprouts
green onion, chopped
hand full chopped cilantro
Saute all of your veggies until soft and add the terryaki sauce.
Boil some water in a medium sauce pan, and in a separate frying pan heat three tablespoons of canola oil.
Lay out one won ton at a time (this is best done with other people as an assembly line) place 1 tablespoon of the veggie mixture in the center of won ton, dab a bit of water around the edges and fold into a triangle then match the two bottom corners together and press to seal. Drop won tons into boiling water for about 3 minutes until clear, then place into the frying pan and let cook there until browned and crisp. Make sure not to try and remove it from the pan too soon, otherwise you will end up with lots of burnt won ton wrapper in the pan like we did our first batch. The pot sticker will actually release when it is done. Be patient and make sure your fire isn't too high.
Enjoy!!!
