Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups finely grated peeled sweet potatoes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup finely shredded cabbage
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot
1 teaspoon pepper
24 pot sticker or gyoza wrappers
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 cup chicken broth, divided
Additional reduced-sodium soy sauce, optional

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of one wrapper. (Until ready to use, keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.) , Moisten entire edge with water. Fold wrapper over filling to form a semicircle. Press edges firmly to seal, pleating the front side to form three to five folds. Holding sealed edges, stand each dumpling on an even surface; press to flatten bottom. Curve ends to form a crescent shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling., In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. In batches, arrange pot stickers flat side down in pan; cook for 1-2 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned., Add 1/2 cup broth; bring to a simmer. Cover and steam for 6-10 minutes or until broth is almost absorbed. Uncover; cook for 1 minute or until bottoms are crisp and broth is evaporated. Serve with additional soy sauce if desired.
