Home-style pot stickers------cow bean and chicken stuffing

Overview

Pot stickers are a type of noodle dish that can be found in local restaurants in the streets and alleys of Daocheng. As for the fillings, there are both meat and vegetables. Pork, beef and three delicacies are relatively popular among the public. Usually my family uses pork, but the ingredients used this time are relatively niche. In terms of taste, it is not as fragrant as pork, but my children and I both think it is pretty good.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cowpeas, we call them kidney beans and string beans here. Wash and throw them into a pot of boiling water and cook until they are raw and fish out.

   

2. 2 Main raw materials required. I didn't know that cowpeas and garlic go so well together until I had a dish of stir-fried kidney beans with pork belly at a farm party in the mountains. The taste was amazing. It had oyster sauce and a lot of minced garlic in it.

   

3. 3 Before chopping the stuffing, it will save time to chop it first.

   

4. 4 Chicken breasts are tender and easy to handle. Chop finely, add cooking wine, oyster sauce, peanut oil, chicken essence and salt and mix well.

   

5. 5 My family is used to making homemade dumpling wrappers, but friends who don’t know how to roll them can also buy ready-made dumpling wrappers, which are just as easy to use. It should be noted that pot stickers are different from making dumplings in that there is no need to close the ends.

   

6. 6 Heat a non-stick pan and add an appropriate amount of oil. Place the pot stickers one by one, add a flat bowl of water, cover the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. When the water is used up, turn to low heat to drain. When eating, you can dip it in light soy sauce or vinegar according to your taste, or you can also eat it with minced garlic like dumplings.
