To Freeze : When solid, after a few hours, place the dumplings in a freezer quality plastic bag, label and date. Cook frozen dumplings the same as fresh ones, in boiling soup or stew.

I adapted the filling for these Potstickers from my Wonton Soup recipe, because I already knew they were spectacular. My Potsticker filling is quite traditional with ground pork and veggies but is SO flavorful with the addition of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar , rice wine, sesame oil and Asian chili sauce AND by steaming in chicken broth instead of water.
So although the ingredient list is somewhat lengthy, it is as easy as dump and pulse while the food processor does all the work for you.
You can swap out the ground pork for your favorite protein but I recommend keeping the other filling ingredients the same for the ideal texture and filling to moisture ratio. Also keep in mind, the fattier the protein, the juicier the filling. Potstickers are wrapped in round Asian dumpling wrappers sometimes labeled dumpling skins, potsticker or gyoza wrappers. They are thin sheets of dough made with wheat flour and water. If your grocery store carries them, they will be located in the refrigerated section.

Thank you for taking the time to comment Anna! Happy ! I have a friend who can be kind of selective when it comes to quality of food he worked for decades in restaurants. He absolutely loved these. Of the 40 that I made, he probably ate 20 of them. My son loved them as well.
The process for the cabbage was a perfect step, especially salting to remove the excess moisture. Thank you so much for your awesome comment Dave! I am thrilled both your fine palate friend and son loved them! That is awesome you are going to make and freeze them as well — happy eating! I used fresh, but you can substitute them with cremini mushrooms. If you using dried: Cover the mushrooms in boiling water. Cover with plastic wrap to stop heat escaping.
Soak for 20 minutes. The mushrooms should almost double in size so make sure to use the correct amount for the recipe. Strain the liquid and make sure they are very dry. These were very flavorful, however chopping everything up by hand makes a much better filling texture. It just doesnt take that long. So much better than take out potstickers! I would like to make these for a potluck office party. This recipe was spot on! It honestly made no difference at all!
The step by step instructions were great and the end result was perfection. I will advise you not to walk away while the wontons are cooking, as they brown pretty quickly. If you like the Asian flavor profile, you will love this recipe! Make it….. Thank you so much for your awesome comment Paula! I made these yesterday and they were delicious!! I drained my cabbage like you said, but next time I will do that well in advance and be sure to squish out as much liquid as I can before mixing it in with the other filling ingredients, because even after draining the liquid, the filling was still fairly wet with all of the other liquid ingredients.
