Pork Potstickers

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups roasted pork loin, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 2 T soy sauce
- 1 T sesame oil
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Wonton wrappers


1. In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients except for wonton wrappers. Pulse until mixture is chunky, but not pureed (we're not making pate here).
2. Put pork mixture into a bowl.

3. Set up your workspace. You'll need a large baking sheet or platter for the potstickers once you've made them, a bowl of water, and a clean, dry surface for folding (like a cutting board).

4. Lay out a wonton wrapper. Put about 1/2 T pork mixture in the center.
5. Wet one finger with the water, and wipe it along two edges of the wrapper.
6. Fold the wrapper over diagonally, to make a flat isoceles triangle. Squeeze out all the air from the middle and make a tight seal all the way around.
7. Pick the wonton up so the filling is facing the ceiling.
8. Poke in the filling part a little to make an indent.
9. Fold the two farthest-apart edges together, as if they were hands clapping.
10. Wet one "hand" of the wonton, and press it against the other "hand" to seal.
11. Repeat until you run out of filling or wrappers, whatever comes first.



These wontons can be either pan-friend in a high-heat oil (like canola or peanut), or steamed in a basket. They also freeze beautifully (just put them on a baking sheet in the freezer, once frozen, move them to a plastic bag); just pan-fry or steam to reheat them.

Happy eating!
