How to Make Pot Stickers at Home

  • you can use a bamboo steamer – 15-20 minutes (line with lettuce or spray with non-stick coating)
  • or in a pressure cooker/instant pot which is all the rage now – 7 minutes on steam and they are ready!
  • my favorite way is pan frying – searing the bottom of the pot sticker in a small amount of oil in a hot pan until they are golden brown. Finish by steaming for a few minutes in broth or water.

For this recipe I used a bamboo steamer. A fun cooking method and the steamer looks great on the table when you’re getting the rest of the meal ready!

Ingredients Needed

  • hoisin sauce
  • soy sauce
  • chili paste or sriracha
  • garlic
  • wonton wrappers
  • ground pork or beef
  • water chestnuts
  • green onions

The pot stickers can be eaten by themselves but they are always fun with a dipping sauce. The store has a ton of options if you are short on time but why not make your own?!!
