Mix in mushrooms, cashews, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Taste to see if anything needs to be added. > > > > Step 3: Make the wontons. Have a bowl of water available and put damp paper towel over wrappers. Take one wrapper and rotate so its in a diamond shape. Put about tsp of mixture in middle and wet the bottom two edges with water. Fold over top edge to make a triangle, and seal edges, making sure to try and get out most of the air. Then pinch/fold twice on either side of the triangle where the seals are. > > > > Step 4: Heat a pan, preferably one WITHOUT a non-stick surface on medium heat.You might have to play around with the heat once you get cooking to get the right amount of browning. Have your vegetable broth ready with 1/4 cup and a lid for the pan. Once hot brush very lightly with oil. Then place wantons on, pushing down so that the flat side sticks to the bottom of the pan. then leave them for 2 minutes. DO NOT MOVE THEM. Then quickly pour 1/4 cup stock on, cover with lid and turn heat down to low. Then let cook another 2 minutes. Then take off lid and remover potstickers. Bottom should be dark brown and crispy but not black. And you're done! > > > > I hope this recipes works, its fairly experimental but its a good base recipe to play around with. > > let me know if there needs to be any clarifications or if you tried it and liked it! > > > > Thanks, > > Michelle > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
