Meet your new favorite go-to dinner: sesame lamb potstickers! Learn how to make this twist on the Chinese dumpling on this episode of Best Bites.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground lamb
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped (plus more for garnish)
1 tablespoons tarragon
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper, to season
2 teaspoons olive oil, 2 tablespoon olive oil (separated)
40 round wonton wrappers
1/3 cup raw sesame seeds
water (for sealing)
For dipping sauce:
1/2 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine lamb, garlic, green onions, tarragon and parsley in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
Spoon a tablespoon of the lamb mixture onto a round wonton wrapper. Brush water around the edge of the wrapper and fold dough over the filling to make a half moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal and repeat with the remaining wrappers.
Place sesame seeds in a shallow bowl. Gently dip the bottom of the dumpling in water then in the sesame seeds to coat. Repeat with remaining dumplings.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and once oil is simmering, add potstickers and cook until the bottoms are light brown, about 2-3 minutes. Then, carefully pour water into the skillet and immediately cover with a tight fitting lid. Turn heat to medium-low and let dumplings steam for 5-6 minutes to cook filling. Repeat with remaining dumplings in batches.
To make sauce, combine sweet Thai chili sauce, low sodium soy sauce, pomegranate juice and pomegranate seeds in a small bowl.
Garnish finished dumplings with green onions and serve with sauce.
