Peachy Pork Pot Stickers
Peachy Pork Pot Stickers are one of our favorite summer appetizers. I start these pot stickers by mixing together ground pork, minced peaches, cabbage, ginger, garlic and chives. Then, I stuff the pot sticker wrappers with the filling and fry them until they’re crispy and golden. Finally, I serve them with my Soy Peach Dipping Sauce. We like these appetizers for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make these pot stickers in a little over thirty minutes. Secondly, I like that this recipe is so economical. For the cost of one order of restaurant pot stickers, I can make all forty-five of these pot stickers. And, lastly, we all love these crispy potstickers.
The Equipment I Used
- A Food Processor- I use this to combine the pork filling. If you don’t have a food processor, just mince the ingredients very finely.
- A Nonstick Skillet with a Lid or a Nonstick Electric Skillet with a Lid- I used a large electric skillet.
The Ingredients Needed for Peachy Pork Pot Stickers
- Pork- Use ground pork.
- Pot Sticker Wrappers- Use round pot sticker wrappers. I used the Nasoya brand.
- Peaches- These add sweetness and keep the filling moist.
- Chives- You could also use scallions.
- Soy Sauce- I like the Kikoman brand.
- Rice Wine Vinegar- You can find this in the Asian section of your market, or with the vinegars.
- Ginger- I used fresh ginger.
- Garlic- I like to buy the peeled cloves and store them in my freezer.
How I Made my Potstickers
- First, I made the Soy Peach Dipping Sauce.
- Next, I stuffed the pot sticker wrappers. Be sure to pinch them together well.
- Finally, I fried the pot stickers. Fry them on medium heat, and then turn the heat to low to steam them.

Instructions

- Next, stuff the potstickers: Dust a sheet pan with the cornstarch. Cup one pot sticker wrapper in your hand. Brush the edges with water. Put a couple of teaspoons of filling in the middle of the wrapper and fold the top in half pinching and pleating as you go. The goal is to have the dumpling stand up when you fry it.
- In a large nonstick skillet or nonstick electric skillet, heat half the vegetable oil on medium heat. Add half the dumplings and cook until the bottoms are golden brown. Pour in half the water and cover the dumplings. Lower the heat to low. Cook the pot stickers until the water is almost all evaporated. Uncover the potstickers and cook another minute. Repeat with the rest of the dumplings, oil, and water. Serve with the dipping sauce.
