How to Make Perfect Pot Stickers Alton Brown

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients (see below). Mix well.
  3. Cover and set aside.
  4. To assemble, cover unused wonton wrappers with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
  5. Lightly brush two edges of each wonton wrapper with water.
  6. Place ½ rounded teaspoon of pork mixture in the center of each wrapper.
  7. Fold over to form a half-moon shape, pressing edges firmly to seal. Crimp edges for a decorative finish (optional).
  8. Place assembled pot stickers on a baking sheet, covering with a damp cloth to prevent sticking.
  9. Repeat until all filling is used.
  10. Heat a 12-inch sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
  11. Once hot, add 8-10 pot stickers to the pan, ensuring they don't touch.
  12. Cook for 2 minutes undisturbed.
  13. Add ⅓ cup chicken stock to the pan, reduce heat to low, cover, and steam for another 2 minutes.
  14. Carefully transfer cooked pot stickers to a heatproof platter. Place in the warm oven to keep warm.
  15. Deglaze the pan by pouring in water and scraping up any browned bits between batches.
  16. Repeat steps 11-15 until all pot stickers are cooked.
  17. Serve immediately with dipping sauce (2 parts Yamasa soy sauce, 1 part rice wine vinegar, sprinkled sesame seeds).
