Sun- chicken potstickers with cilantro chili dipping sauce and spicy pineapple slaw

Yum, do you have a recipe to share for that?  Sounds really good. 

hamsterdance

I just kind of made them up as I went but I'll try to approximate what I put in them for you.

Potstickers:

2 packages of gyoza wrappers

1 lb ground chicken (raw)

2 T olive oil

1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage and/or carrots (I used 1/2 a bag of  cole slaw mix)

2 T grated ginger or powdered ginger

2 T oyster sauce

2 t black sesame oil

1 T chili and garlic sauce

Mix together chicken, olive oil, cabbage/carrots, ginger, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce. It's easiest to just use your hands for this part. Heat non-stick skillet on medium. Wet one edge of gyoza wrapper, place 1 tsp of chicken mixture  in middle, fold and press together. Repeat until all wrappers are filled. Add 1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil to skillet and lightly brown both sides of the potstickers. Add 1/4 cup water to pan, cover and steam for a couple of minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool. This recipe makes about 80-90 potstickers, but after they are assembled you can freeze them and cook them at a later date.

 

Cilantro Chili Dipping Sauce

Blend together: 

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, stemmed

1 T chili garlic sauce

1/4 cup milk or water

After blended add another 1/2 cup of sour cream and mix in well.

 

Spicy pineapple slaw

1 1/2 cups cole slaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)

2 T cup rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup sugar

Juice of 1 lime

3/4 cup diced fresh pineapple

Finely chopped jalapeno (to taste)

Mix together all ingredients well and serve. This saves pretty well for a couple of days.
