Instructions
- Make the filling: mix together the ground chicken, red bell pepper, green cabbage, green onions, ginger, sesame oil and white pepper, thoroughly incorporating each ingredient.
- Brush each wonton skin with water. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the centre, fold the wrapper over and make 5 pleats on one side, sealing the filling inside. Repeat until the filling is used up.
- Grease a large pan and cook the pot stickers in batches over medium heat until light brown, without overcrowding.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth and 1 teaspoon soy sauce over the cooking pot stickers, cover the pan and let sit until all the liquid has evaporated.
- Transfer the pot stickers to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat the searing and steaming for the remaining pot stickers.
- Make the dipping sauce in the same pan: add 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth and ¼ cup (60 ml) soy sauce and bring to a boil over high heat, scraping the bottom to release the browned bits. Reduce to medium and simmer until reduced by half, about 3–5 minutes.
- To serve, divide the pot stickers among plates, spoon over some dipping sauce and garnish with finely sliced green onions or chives, and thin nori strips if desired.
