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

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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)
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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!
