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.
