Homemade Potstickers (With Toasted Sesame Honey Sauce) July 21, 2021

2 Tbs sesame oil

2cm fresh ginger, grated

1 small turnip grated

1 cup shredded cabbage

1 large carrot grated

2 Tbsp tamari

2 Tbsp green onion, sliced

2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

20 round or square wonton wrappers

Heat half the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the turnip, cabbage, carrots, and ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally until the veggies have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tamari, green onion and sesame seeds and cook another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. 

To assemble, spoon 1 tablespoon of filling onto each wrapper. Brush water around the edge of the wrapper. Fold the dough over the filling to a triangle shape, pinching the edges to seal. Fold the corners of the triangle together and pinch to join. Repeat with the remaining wrappers. 

Heat a large skillet with the remaining sesame oil over high heat. When hot, add the potstickers and cook until the bottoms are light golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan and immediately cover with a tight fitting lid. Turn heat to medium and let the dumplings steam for 3 minutes.
