A delicate & tasty treat. • Serves 2
Ingredients
Ingredient |
2 lobster tails |
2/3 pound of prawns |
1 Tbsp peanut oil |
1-1/2 cups shiitake mushrooms |
2 medium carrots |
1/4 cup gr onions, finely chopped (reserve 1 tbsp for garnish) |
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro |
1 Tbsp sesame seeds |
2 tsp grated fresh ginger |
2 tsp Chinese chili paste |
2 cloves garlic |
1 tsp salt |
2 dozen wonton or gyoza wrappers |
Peanut Oil for frying |
Garnish with 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds and/or reserved green onions |
For Sake Sauce |
1/2 cup sauce |
1/4 cup soy sauce |
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar |
A pinch of sugar |
1 small chili (serrano is best), fresh or dried |
1 clove garlic |
Directions
- Coarsely chop the prawns and then process them in the food processor until they are moderately chopped. The pieces should be no larger than peanuts.
- De-stem the shiitake mushrooms and slice the caps into thin strips. Dice the carrots finely.
- In a saucepan with a little bit of peanut or hazelnut oil, sauté the mushrooms and carrots for about 10 minutes. Cool.
- Chop the green onions and the cilantro, grate the ginger and mince the garlic.
- Mix the prawns in with the mushrooms, carrots, green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, chili paste, and salt.
- Lay a potsticker wrapper on your cutting board. Using a finger dipped in a glass of water, wet the edges of the wrapper. Place one tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the wrapper by bringing two opposite corners of the wrapper together, forming a triangle.
- Press the wet edges together to seal. Now wet the outside edges of the triangle. Make small creases in the sides of the triangle.
- Place the completed potstickers on a sheet of wax paper dusted with cornstarch.
- From here you can either freeze the potstickers in layers (separated by wax paper) or you can move onto cooking them.
To cook the lobster pot stickers:
- Heat 2 tbsp of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add potstickers but don’t crowd the pan.
- Fry the potstickers until they are lightly golden brown on all sides, about 5-7mins.
- Add 1/8 cup of water to the hot pan and cover immediately. Steam the potstickers for another 5 minutes, the filling should be firm to touch when done.
- Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Keep warm in a 200-degree oven until all the potstickers are ready.
