POT STICKERS

This is our new favorite recipe. I'll post a must more detailed version on my recipe blog tomorrow. Go check it out! *grins*

Pot Stickers

• 1 package wonton wrappers (about 50ct) either circle or square
• 1 bag coleslaw mix
• 1 lb ground chicken
• 2 t ginger
• 2 stalks green onions--finely chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 2-3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Mix all the ingredients together (except for the wrappers). Spoon a TINY bit(about a tbsp or less) into the middle of one wrapper (be careful, they stick together in sets of two). Seal the edges with water. The back of the wonton wrappers have a good description on how to fold these up.

To cook, heat about 2-3 Tbsp oil in a pan. After it's HOT, add the pot-stickers, but don't crowd the pan. Let them brown on the bottom for a minute, then put the lid on it. Leave a tiny opening so you can pour some water over them. Hot oil and water do NOT play well together. Remember that kids! :) You'll want to have enough water to cover the pot-stickers about 1/3 of the way. Cover them, and let the cook until the water's gone. You'll hear a difference in the sizzle. Flip them over and cook until the other side's crispy.

We're still trying to find a good sauce to dip these in. We had soy sauce tonight, but using ground chicken makes these a little dry inside. The soy sauce was good, but salty.

Chinese Chicken Sundaes

I've always hated Hawaiian Haystacks due to the fact that they remind of the nasty cafeteria food in my elementary school. I have'nt actually made these, but my friend Kelly made these for us and they were delicious and simple! None of the ingredients have amounts because you can make however much you want depending on how hungry you are and how many people you are feeding.

Chow Mein noodles
Cooked Rice
Cut up and cooked chicken
Cream of chicken soup made
Tomatoes
celery
crushed pineapple
Anyother delecious topping that you think would match

All you do is assemble the ingredients. Put chow mein noodles on your plate, with the rice then chicken on top. Pour the soup on top then add toppings. Very tasty, and I'm sure you can get creative.
