Pot Stickers

I usually don’t buy many kitchen gadgets, but I read a lot of great reviews about the Philips Pasta Maker, and so finally decided to give it a try. It’s a bit pricey, but we like home made pasta and the manual machines are too time intensive. It takes a couple of tries to get the procedure down just right (I watched YouTube videos), but once I got the hang of it, I’m so glad that I purchased this time-saving machine and the pasta turns out great.

This recipe is similar to the one provided in the machine’s manual, we’ve adjusted slightly. We will be making these pot stickers often, since they are so good! The recipe makes around 32, which were too many for our family, so we store some in the fridge and most in the freezer after boiling. When we are ready to serve again, we just fry in a pan for a quick snack/appetizer. Or you could make a half recipe, but we prefer having leftovers to serve during the work week.

Ingredients

Pasta

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Filling

• 1 pound ground pork
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger finely grated
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sherry wine
• 2 tablespoons  toasted sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 green onion, finely chopped green and white parts
• 6 ounces cabbage finely chopped

Sauce

• 6 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 red Fresno pepper seeded and finely chopped 
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Pasta

• Use the Philips Pasta Maker with the lasagna attachment. Add 2 cups flour and recommended fluid provided on the machine. We cut ours into squares, about 5"x5".

Filling

• Mix pork, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sherry, sesame oil, salt, pepper, onion and cabbage in a medium bowl until well combined. All ingredients uncooked (cooks in the boiling process below).

Sauce

• Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, Fresno pepper and ground pepper in a small bowl.

Assembly and Cooking

• Fill pasta squares with about a teaspoon of filing. Wet your fingers with water and run across all edges. Press to seal in a triangle shape.
• Boil water in a pot with a little salt and add sealed pot stickers for 8 minutes. Remove to a drying rack when done. We let them air dry on the rack, then sauté the pot stickers in a cast iron frying pan with a little oil to crisp up a little on both sides.
• Serve warm with sauce.
