Crab Pot Stickers With Sesame Ginger Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Make the sauce: In a small bowl whisk together the first 6 ingredients (soy sauce through water).
• To Make the Pot Stickers: Chop the green onion and pick over crab meat to remove any bits of shell and cartilage. Break up larger pieces of crab.
• In a dry small heavy skillet toast sesame seeds with salt to taste over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer seeds to a medium bowl and cool slightly. Add egg white and ginger to seeds and lightly beat. Gently stir in crab and green onion. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put 6 wonton wrappers on a dry surface, keeping remaining wrappers in package, and lightly brush edges with water. Mound about 1 tablespoon filling in center of each wrapper. Gather edge of each wrapper up and around filling and form a waist with wrapper (filling should be exposed and level with top of wrapper). Lightly dust a plate with cornstarch and arrange pot stickers in one layer. Make 6 more pot stickers in same manner.
• In a large nonstick skillet heat vegetable oil over moderately high heat until hot, but not smoking, and fry pot stickers, flat sides down, until undersides are golden, about 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup water down side of skillet. Cover skillet and steam pot stickers over moderately low heat until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove lid and cook pot stickers until any water is evaporated.
• Serve pot stickers with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, green onion, and sesame seeds in a Mason jar with a lid. Shake until sugar has dissolved.

Steps:

• Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl combine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Set aside and allow the flavors to develop.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg white, vinegar, and sesame oil; season it with salt and pepper. Add the ginger, shallot, scallion, and cilantro. Pick over the crab to remove any stray bits of shell and to break up any large pieces. Fold the crab meat into the egg white mixture. Place 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold in half to create a half moon shape. Pleat the edges between your fingers, making about 4 or 5 pleats. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
• In a medium sized, flat bottom skillet, heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add half the dumplings, pleat side up, and fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until bottoms are golden brown. Carefully add 1/4 cup water to pan, it can splatter. Cover and steam dumplings for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove cover and continue cooking until most of the water is evaporated. Clean out pan and repeat. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Make the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and some ginger slices. Set aside and allow the flavors to develop. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 egg white (lightly beaten), 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and some salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger, 1 tablespoon finely minced shallot, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro. Pick over the crab to remove any stray bits of shell and to break up any large pieces. Fold the crab meat into the egg white mixture. Using a 24-pack of round wonton wrappers, place about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrappers with egg wash (cracked egg with a little water) or plain water and fold wonton in half to a half-moon shape. Pleat the edges between your fingers, making about 4 or 5 pleats. Repeat process with remaining filling and wrappers. In a medium sized flat bottom skillet, heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil over medium-high heat. (Sesame or vegetable oil will work fine too, but do not substitute olive oil for this, as the flavors will not work.) Add the dumplings to the pan and fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until bottoms are golden brown. Carefully add 1/4 cup water to pan, and cover and steam dumplings for around 3 to 4 minutes. Remove cover and continue cooking until most of the water is evaporated. If any uncooked dumplings remain, clean out the pan and repeat steps 8 and 9. Serve potstickers immediately with dipping sauce.
