Hi all! Leaving on vacation this week so here’s a guest post from food blogger (and fellow Atlantan), Amy, with Amy in the Kitchen! I met Amy in Minneapolis this summer where we both attended an awesome food photography class hosted by Pinch of Yum. You could say that we really took notes and learned a ton from the experts about the art of food photography. Anyway, Amy was kind enough to contribute her Pork Potstickers recipe for the blog this week. Looks SO delish, Amy! Enjoy, everyone!
“Pork Potstickers are one of my all time favorite appetizers! I can remember the first time I have ever had a potsticker. It was 1992 and I had just started my first serving job at a really nice Japanese restaurant in Memphis, TN called Sekisui. When I took a bite out of one these savory little dumplings I couldn’t believe how amazing it tasted … It was infused with exotic flavors that I had never experienced before. I grew up in southern Louisiana … home to some of the best food in the world so I went into the taste test a little on the biased side.”
“There was something so different about this wonderful new type of cuisine I was experiencing. It might sound silly but it was after eating my first pork potsticker that I really wanted to start trying new things. You could say that the ‘gyoza’ was the start of my food obsession! Forget about those frozen potstickers you find at the grocery store … they are way too easy to make.”

- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Place ingredients into a bowl and mix until fully combined. (If you can do this ahead of time and let sit in fridge for a few hours or overnight the flavors will be even better!)
- Take a wonton wrapper and lay it out flat onto a hard surface lined with parchment paper.
- Using your finger, rub warm water onto the edges of the wonton wrapper.
- Place a teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center of the wonton.
- Take one corner and pull the opposite corner up and pinch them together.
- Starting from the top, pinch the sides together until the wonton is sealed.
- Spray the bottom of a non-stick skillet with cooking spray.
- Place the potstickers, flat side down into the skillet and turn the heat to medium high heat.
- Once the pan starts to heat up, pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the pan and cover.
- Cook the potstickers for about 8 minutes. Do not move them at all during this time.
- Remove the cover and continue to cook the potstickers until the water is completely evaporated and the bottoms are golden brown.
- Dipping sauce: Combine the ingredients in a small bowl. Serve on the side of potstickers.
