Happy Chinese New Year! How to Fry Pot Stickers Feb 10th 2013, 12:00 Pot stickers are Chinese dumplings that are fried (and in frying, they tend to stick to the pot, hence their apt name). The frying turns each soft dumpling into a crunchier version that some people much prefer. Start by making the dumplings, then proceed to fry them as shown here. Edit Ingredients Chinese dumplings 2 tablespoons oil (sesame or peanut oil) Water Edit Steps Assemble the dumplings. Do not cook them just yet. Put about 2 tablespoons of oil into a wok or frying pan. Sesame or peanut oil are preferred for their authentic Chinese flavors. Sesame oil will tend to smoke a bit more than peanut oil at high heat. If you are using frozen pot stickers, skip to number 4 and add 2 tablespoons additional water. Heat the oil for about a minute. (You might see bubbles starting to form.) Fry the pot stickers for about 3-5 minutes each, or until the bottoms turn brown. Add about 1/2 cup of water and place a cover on the pan. This will allow the pot stickers to steam and cook all the way through. Steam until all the water is gone. You'll start to hear crackling sounds, and the pot stickers again begin to brown. If you like them well browned, gently lift and turn them with a spatula to brown the sides. Remove from the heat and serve. Finished. Edit Video Edit Tips Sauce to accompany pot stickers is a mixture of 2/3 soy sauce, 1/3 Chinese rice vinegar, fresh grated or chopped bottled/pickled ginger, and sesame oil, often with a garnish of chopped chives. If you like it spicy, add Chinese chili paste to taste. Two other alternative dipping sauces are: Soy sauce, drips of sesame oil and one thin sliced garlic clove. Soy sauce, drips of sesame oil and rice vinegar and one diced green onion. If you want, you can fry the other side. Serve pot stickers with soup, and you'll have a complete meal. Edit Warnings They're called "pot stickers" for a reason - they stick to your pots. Teflon coated frying pans or well-seasoned cast iron will minimize the difficulty in lifting and turning them. Don't fry the pot stickers for too long or they'll turn black. Try not to fry too many at once, or some may burn because you didn't remove them fast enough.
