I am excited to share one of my favorite Asian appetizer dishes with you – zucchini potstickers! Fresh homemade potstickers tastes way better than the frozen ones from grocery store. It’s easier than you think to make at home, I promise!
You could make potstickers with many different types of fillings. Such as pork, shrimp, etc. There are also a variety of ways to cook them. This time, I am making pan-fried potstickers with golden zucchini and egg filling (green zucchini works too).
To start, I cooked the egg and mix it with the zucchini (shredded). Then, I seasoned the mixture with some salt, black pepper and sesame oil. (I always add some sesame oil when cooking zucchini, gives it a great taste!) And this is going to be the fillings for the potstickers.
For this recipe, I am making a super easy open-ended potstickers.
First, place some fillings in the middle of the dumpling wrapper. Then, I rubbed some water onto the edges of the wrapper with my finger, the water acts kind like glue which will help seal the wrapper later. To make an open-ended potsticker, I simply folded the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, but not seal the edges entirely, leave the two ends open instead, just like shown in the picture below.
Now, it’s time to cook. I used a non-stick pan to make things easier. First, I brush some oil onto the pan. When picking the potstickers up, I made sure to be gentle so the fillings won’t fall out.
After picking them up, I placed them on the pan one by one. Pan-frying the potstickers only takes a couple of minutes (under low heat). When the bottoms have turned brown, I poured some water around the pan and started simmering (with a lid on) until the wraps have all turned transparent.
Home-made potstickers are ready! I like to sprinkle with some chopped green onion and dip them in soy sauce to enjoy. The zucchini potstickers are juicy, fresh and delicious. You are gonna love it.
Here is an overview of how I made these zucchini potstickers. It only took around 20 minutes!
I hope you enjoy making this tasty zucchini potstickers at home. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
