    Pot Stickers

    List of Ingredients








    Planet Hollywood Pot Stickers
    Here's a special recipe from one of the most popular theme restaurant
    chains. Pot stickers are a popular Asian dumpling that can be fried,
    steamed, or simmered in a broth. Planet Hollywood has customized its
    version to make them crunchier than the traditional dish, and it`s a tasty
    twist that I`m sure you'll love. Since hoisin sauce would be very difficult
    to make from scratch, you can use a commercial brand found in most
    stores.

    1/4 pound ground turkey
    1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
    1 teaspoon minced green onion
    1 teaspoon minced water chestnuts
    1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (no seeds)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 egg, beaten
    Vegetable oil for frying
    12 wonton wrappers (3 x 3-inch size)
    On the side: Hoisin sauce

    Recipe



    1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except the egg, wrappers
    and oil. Add 1 tablespoon of the beaten egg. Save the rest of the egg for
    later. Preheat oil in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan to 375 degrees. Use
    enough oil to cover the pot stickers -- 1 to 2 inches should be enough.
    2. Invert a small bowl or glass with a 3-inch diameter on the center of a
    wonton wrapper and cut around it to make a circle. Repeat for the
    remaining wrappers.
    3. Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of the turkey filling into the center of one
    wrapper. Brush a little beaten egg around half of the edge of the wrapper
    and fold the wrapper over the filling. Gather the wrapper as you seal it so
    that it is crinkled around the edge. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
    4. Deep-fry the pot stickers, six at a time in the hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes
    or until they are brown. Drain on a rack or paper towels. Serve with hoisin
    sauce for dipping. If you want some crushed red pepper or cayenne
    pepper to the sauce. Serves 3 to 4 as an appetizer.

    Note: If you can't find wonton wrappers, you can also use eggroll
    wrappers for this recipe. Eggroll wrappers are much bigger, so you will be
    wasting more of the dough when you trim the wrappers to 3-inch diameter
    circles. But in a pinch, this is a quick solution.
    Pot sticker wrappers can also be found in some supermarkets, but I've
    found the wonton wrappers and eggroll wrappers, when fried, taste more
    like the restaurant version.
