Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potsticker Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 30 potsticker wrappers
Seasoning and Spices:
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chili oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Ginger Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, shredded cabbage, green onions, garlic, and ginger, creating a robust filling mixture.
- Incorporate soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper into the chicken mixture, ensuring thorough and even distribution of flavors.
- Lay out potsticker wrappers on a clean surface and place a small dollop of the seasoned chicken mixture in the center of each wrapper.
- Carefully fold the wrappers, creating delicate triangular parcels by pinching edges firmly to seal and prevent filling from escaping during baking.
- Arrange the assembled potstickers on the prepared sheet pan, leaving slight space between each to ensure crispy edges.
- Drizzle additional chili oil over the potstickers for extra heat and moisture, then bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and chicken is completely cooked.
- While potstickers bake, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, fresh ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to create a vibrant, zesty ginger sauce.
- Remove potstickers from oven, letting them rest for 2-3 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Serve hot, generously drizzling the ginger sauce over the crispy potstickers, garnishing with extra green onions if desired.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Bottoms by ensuring the sheet pan is preheated and lightly oiled before placing potstickers, creating a crisp golden exterior.
- Customize Protein Options by swapping ground chicken with turkey, tofu, or plant-based alternatives for diverse dietary preferences and restrictions.
- Manage Spice Levels by adjusting red pepper flakes and chili oil quantities to suit individual heat tolerance, making the recipe adaptable for mild to fiery palates.
- Maximize Filling Distribution by using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion chicken mixture evenly, preventing overstuffed or underfilled potstickers that might compromise sealing and cooking.
