It’s not hard to make these yummy gluten free Chinese dumplings filled with whatever suits your fancy. Just make a double batch of my gluten free wonton wrappers, stuff, seal, and fry or boil, depending on your mood.

You’ll even enjoy working with the homemade gluten free wonton wrapper dough because it S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-S around your fillings, rather than falling apart as it would if made with another gluten free flour.

You may just have to try it to believe how soft and supple this dough is to work with when made with my gfJules Flour. It will blow you away in comparison to working with other gluten free flours.

Yield: 20 potstickers or dumplings
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 38 minutes

Even if your local Chinese restaurant doesn't have gluten free potstickers on the menu, they can still be on your menu at home with this easy homemade gluten free potstickers recipe!

Ingredients

Filling Recipe

  • 1 pound cooked protein of choice (pulled chicken, ground pork, diced tofu), optional
  • 1 cup cabbage (red or green), shredded
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 2/3 cup shiitake mushrooms, diced
  • 2 green onions, diced (1/3-1/2 cup)
  • 1/3 cup eggplant, diced
  • 1 tsp. freshly grated ginger
  • 1 Tbs. gluten free soy sauce or tamari (I like San-J®) OR coconut aminos
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tsp. Sriracha or other hot sauce (or more, to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp. white pepper

Dumplings/Potstickers

Instructions

  1. Prepare vegetables and combine with ginger, gluten free soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha and white pepper in a large bowl, stirring to mix well. If adding a protein, make sure it cut into very small pieces, then add to the mixture.
  2. After making the wonton wrappers, lay out one 5-inch circle onto a counter or pastry mat lightly dusted with gfJules™ Flour. You can see from the photo that the dough is rolled very thin, but be careful that it's not so thin that the fillings will poke through.
  3. Spoon one tablespoon of the mixture onto the left-center of the circle. Dip a finger in water and rub gently around the perimeter of the dough circle to wet it. Fold the right side of the circle over to touch the left side of the dough edge, then press gently to seal in a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges between your fingers to create a scalloped sealed edge. (see how-to photo above recipe card)
  4. If pan frying, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add only enough potstickers to cover the skillet leaving room to turn them in between. Fry until golden, then flip to the other side and fry until golden, approximately 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the temperature of your oil. Another method is to fry only on one side, flip, then add water to the pan and cover it to steam the other side of the potsticker. Remove to drain and cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Repeat with remaining potstickers.
  5. If boiling, prepare a large pot by filling 2/3 full of water and bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, gently add 3-4 potstickers (depending on the size of your pan) to the water. Make sure the pot isn’t crowded, as you don’t want the dumplings to touch much during the boil. Continue to cook for 7-8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain until serving. Repeat with remaining dumplings.
  6. To freeze for cooking later, place uncooked, but formed potstickers in a single layer on a baking sheet overnight or until totally cooled, covered with plastic wrap. Transfer to freezer bags, placing wax paper or parchment between the potstickers so they do not freeze stuck to one another. Cook as directed after thawing the potstickers slightly.

Notes

In place of gluten free soy sauce or tamari, try coconut aminos if you need to avoid soy. There are several brands available now, and they're the perfect replacement in all your Asian cooking!

  1. Excellent recipe! Worked perfectly on the first try! Rolled them out the morning of and were still good elasticity for afternoon dumpling making. Also did really well in a steamer. Next time gonna trying frying!

  2. I had never eaten pot stickers before, but I was really interested to try them. After I made the dough I rolled it into a log and cut it, rolled the pieces into balls and dusted them with flour. While cooling my filling, I flattened the balls and fed them through my pasta maker (Kitchen Aid). I did it once at the 1 setting, and then turned it 90 degress and fed it through twice at about the 2 and 5 settings. They came out in thin but rustic circles, I loaded in the filling and sealed them with some water. They were not sealed enough for boiling, but worked well for the steaming/frying combo. As Jules mentioned, the thinner the dough the more tearing, but this was not a problem with the cooking method. (I leave it thicker for boiling pierogies)

  3. I made these tonight and I’m so glad that I did! They turned out really great and my whole family enjoyed them. A couple of things that I know now that I’ve made them is definitely keep a damp towel over your wrappers until you use them. The dough needs to stay a little wet. I over floured some of mine when I was rolling them out and they had trouble sticking together. First time ever making potstickers so I felt like they turned out really well considering and will know what to do next time to make them even better. Thank you Jules 💜

    • That’s fantastic to hear, Cheryl, and so glad you took some notes for next time so that you can jump right in and cook like a pro anytime you have a craving for potstickers again!! Isn’t it fun to know you can make something out of the ordinary like this, and have it turn out so well??
      Happy baking!

  4. Hi Jules,
    I’m curious…do you have a recipe for a totally different type of dumpling? It’s for Chicken and Dumplings aka Chicken and Pastry. I thought your pie crust recipe may work but thought it may be better to ask. My grandson is GF, egg, and dairy free. He’s certainly missed his dumplings.🙂

  5. GFJules,

    Thanks for Dumpling recipe but, wrong type of Dumpling. 😊 looking for GF Fluffy Dumpling recipe that’s cooked in chicken soup.

    Thanks for your time.

  6. Can anyone tell me if the dough can be frozen once made? My plan is to make a bunch of the dough in advance and roll out the rounds. Then defrost and fill just before cooking. Thank you!!

    Reply
    • Hi Barbara, you should be able to do that. I would put wax paper or parchment between the rounds and freeze in a zip-top bag, then bring the dough to room temperature and you should be good to go! Come back and let me know how it goes!

  7. Hi Jules, I have plan to try this recipe using your flour blend.
    Can the dumplings be made in a steamer instead of fried or boiled?

    • Thanks Rachel! I made them again last night – I’m really enjoying the taste of Chinese food again … it had been so long!
