Ingredients

- 3 tbsp cooking oil
Dipping Sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
- 1/4 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in 1 tablespoon hot water. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and sesame oil. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Potstickers
- In a food processor, add the garlic, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cilantro, and corn starch. Pulse until combined and scallions and garlic are minced. Add the shrimp and pulse once or twice. Remove the mixture to a bowl. To assemble the potstickers, put about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the rim of the wrapper with water. Fold the dough until the ends meet and press the air out of the center towards the edges. Seal by pressing firmly. This is the simplest way. You can you tube it and watch all the different methods and chose what you like best. Set the potstickers on a platter until you are ready to cook. When ready to cook the potstickers, add oil to a large saute pan. Have a lid for the pan handy. When oil begins to swirl, add potstickers to the pan and cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Add two tablespoons of water to the pan and cover immediately to let the potstickers steam and cook through, about 3 minutes. Remove to a large platter and serve with dipping sauce.
Notes
Don't worry if the potstickers don't look perfect. As long as they are sealed you will end up with a delicious dinner!
