Description

Featuring five-spice powder, cabbage, carrot, and sesame seeds, these chicken potstickers are juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Ingredients

3/4 cup canola oil, divided
1/2 onion, minced
1 cup finely shredded carrots
3/4 cup finely shredded cabbage
1 pound ground chicken
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
60 wonton wrappers
3/4 cup chicken broth

Directions

1 Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, and cabbage; saute until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cool for 15 minutes. Add chicken, brown sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, five-spice powder, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until filling is well combined.
2 Separate and place wonton wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten edges with water. Fold one corner over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Fold 2 corners over to meet in the center; press together, squeezing out as much air from the center as you can.
3 Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Set a wire rack on a baking sheet.
4 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add 6 to 8 potstickers; cook until golden brown, flipping once halfway, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons chicken broth to the skillet. Steam, covered, until potstickers are no longer pink on the inside, about 1 minute. Transfer to the wire rack.
5 Place baking sheet in the preheated oven to keep potstickers warm. Cook remaining potstickers with the remaining oil and chicken broth.
