    Shrimp and Vegetable Potstickers


    Source of Recipe


    From Chef Michael Lomonaco

    List of Ingredients




    1 pack wonton wrappers, preferably round
    1/2 pound raw shrimp, peeled de-veined and roughly chopped
    1/2 cup chopped white onion
    1 large carrot finely chopped - about 1/3 cup
    1 cup chopped green cabbage
    1/2 cup shitake mushroom caps, thinly sliced and chopped
    1/2 teaspoon dry chili pepper flakes
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    2 tablespoons sesame oil
    1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
    3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
    3 tablespoons sugar
    salt and pepper to taste

    Recipe



    In a large skillet or a wok heat the vegetable oil until hot. Add the shrimp, onion, carrot, cabbage and mushrooms and quickly stir fry wile combining the ingredients. Add the pepper flakes, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar, adjust the seasoning and pour out onto a cookie sheet to cool.

    When the mixture is cool begin making the potstickers by laying out one wonton, brush the edge with water, put 1 tsp. of the filling into the middle and fold the edge over on the diagonal to form a packet. Trim the edges to eliminate the square corners.

    Dust the finished potstickers with a light coating of cornstarch to prevent sticking before cooking.

    To cook: Heat a non-stick skillet with 3 tbs. vegetable oil. When the pan is hot, add enough potstickers to cover the bottom but do not crowd them. Cook both sides until well-browned and crisp.

    Continue in this manner until all the potstickers are cooked. Keep them warm in a low oven while finishing the last batches.

    Serve with sweet mustard dip.

    Serves 8 as a pass-around hors d'oeuvre
