Preparation

Fine chop all vegetables. Saute in little vegetable oil in order of roughness til soft. Season with pepper, soy sauce, and fajita packet.

Step 2

Saute and season ground pork and add to vegetable mixture. Let cool.

Step 3

Lay our wrapper. Place 1/2t filling in center. Wet the edges and fold to seal closed.

Step 4

At this point they can be frozen and kept for later or cooked. If frozen, do not thaw before cooking. Just follow cooking directions.

Step 5

Put potstickers in a nonstick frying pan, evenly spaced so as not to stick together. Add a small amount of water. Cover and steam on medium/low heat til soft but not soggy. Transfer to a plate and allow water to dry up so you don't get the water in the hot oil.

Step 6

In a stainless frying pan get 1T vegetable oil hot. Put steamed potstickers in hot oil and fry til golden brown on the bottom. Serve with soy sauce to dip.

​

Putting potstickers from steaming straight to hot oil will cause lots of popping and could burn skin.
