Here's my top make-ahead appetizer. They are a lot more nutritious than the ones you get at a restaurant. My three kids are old enough to cook these themselves, right from the freezer. —Marisa Raponi, Vaughan, Ontario

Can you freeze Pork & Chive Pot Stickers?
Place uncooked pot stickers on waxed paper-lined baking sheets; freeze until firm. Transfer to airtight freezer containers; return to freezer. To use, cook frozen pot stickers as directed, increasing broth to 1/2 cup and simmering time to 4-6 minutes for each batch.
Pork & Chive Pot Stickers
Prep Time
60 min
Cook Time
5 min
Yield
5 dozen
Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped water chestnuts
- 1/3 cup minced fresh chives
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound ground pork
- 60 pot sticker or gyoza wrappers
- 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 cup chicken broth, divided
- Optional: Additional reduced-sodium soy sauce and minced fresh chives
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Add pork; mix lightly but thoroughly. Working with a few at a time, place 1 scant tablespoon filling in center of each wrapper. (Cover remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.)
- Moisten wrapper edges with water. Fold wrapper over filling; seal edges, pleating the front side several times to form a pleated pouch. Stand pot stickers on a work surface to flatten bottoms; curve slightly to form crescent shapes if desired.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Arrange a third of the pot stickers in concentric circles in pan, flat side down; cook until bottoms are golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Carefully add 1/3 cup broth (broth may splatter); reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, until broth is almost absorbed and filling is cooked through, 2-3 minutes.
- Cook, uncovered, until bottoms are crisp and water is completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining oil, pot stickers and broth. If desired, serve with additional soy sauce and chives.
