I started making Alton Brown’s Perfect Pot Stickers after I saw Alton’s show and they are incredible! Not difficult to make and a wonderful taste!
Pot stickers are so much easier to make than I thought they would be.
I have also prepared the filling and stuffed the wontons, then flash froze them on a cookie sheet, and bag them when frozen. Just take them out 30 minutes before planning to cook them, and they are great.

You just can't go wrong with an Alton Brown recipe and these pot stickers are not an exception!
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell peppers
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 35 -40 small wonton wrappers
- water for sealing wontons
- 3 -4 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
- 1 1/3 cups chicken stock divided
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- Combine the first 11 ingredients in a medium-size mixing bowl (pork through cayenne). Set aside.
- To form the dumplings, remove 1 wonton wrapper from the package, covering the others with a damp cloth. Brush 2 of the edges of the wrapper lightly with water. Place 1/2 rounded teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold over, seal edges, and shape as desired. Set on a sheet pan and cover with a damp cloth. Repeat procedure until all of the filling is gone.
- Heat a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Brush with vegetable oil once hot. Add 8 to 10 potstickers at a time to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, without touching. Once the 2 minutes are up, gently add 1/3 cup chicken stock to the pan, turn the heat down to low, cover, and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Remove wontons to a heatproof platter and place in the warm oven. Clean the pan in between batches by pouring in water and allowing the pan to deglaze.
- Repeat until all the wontons are cooked. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
