Steps

60 mins

1

Mix everything in your Wonton Meat Mixture section together well.
2

Place 1 1/2 tbsp meat into the center of your wrapper. Wet all edges with cold water.
3

Seal your Wontons up in a triangle pattern tightly. Then, wet the two bottom triangular points and fold them together. Your Wonton should look like it's hugging itself.
4

If making Pot Stickers - place the same amount of pork into your round wrappers. Repeat the Wonton process but place several pinches at the edges. It should end up looking like a clam shell. [sorry. one of my kids got creative with this photo edit and deleted the original] ;0)
5

Add a slight amount of oil to your pan with 1/2 cup water and a tight fitting lid. Steam both Wontons and Pot Stickers for 5 minutes covered, flipping once. Then uncover and brown.
6

Pot Stickers.
7

Drain on paper towels.
8

Serve Wontons hot in a bowl alone or, with an Asian pork or beef broth if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
9

Boiled Pork & Mushroom Dumplings.
10

Serve Pot Stickers hot on a bed of fresh cabbage and garnish with fresh chives and cilantro.
11

Serve both with an assortment of dipping sauces. Enjoy!
