Pork Pot Stickers

Two days ago I made pork pot stickers while I was bored.  I always freeze them and then bag them in portions  (about 12 per bag) for when I am in the mood for a few.

Yields about 60

1 package wonton wraps (Dynasty Brand) *Can be found at Wegman's next to the frozen pizza
1 lb. ground pork
1/4 c. chopped vidalia onion
1/4 c. chopped red bell pepper
1 egg
2 squirts of ketchup (about 1.5 TBSP)
2 tsp. worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. mustard (yellow)
2 tsp. brown sugar
1.5 tsp. kosher salt or sea salt
.5 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1/4 tsp. ground ginger

Mix thoroughly with fork or hands to make sure everything is mixed in well.
Fold about 1 tsp. of mixture into wonton wrapper and make a triangle. You can make any shape you want whether its a dumpling square, half moon, or triangle. Pinch and fold the corners.

To Freeze: Lay flat on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. When frozen thoroughly, place in bags however you like. I bag them by the dozen.

To Cook: Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet on med-high. Place pot stickers in and cook until the bottoms get a nice golden brown. Then add chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water and cover to steam for 3-5 minutes (depending on if they are frozen or fresh.) I like to use chicken broth because it gives them some more flavor. When finished, serve with sauce of your liking. I use Wegman's Sweet Chili Sauce or Stir Fry Teriyaki.
