Make-ahead, freezer-friendly dumplings made completely from scratch with an optional hot chili oil sauce for a kick of heat!
Greetings from Oahu! Jason and I are here for a friend’s wedding, eating our body weight in Kahlua pork eggs benedict, Leonard’s donuts, pineapple smoothies and acai bowls. We also have about a dozen more restaurants bookmarked so this may not end well.
But before I get back to mai tai on the beach, let’s talk about these potstickers.
These freezer-friendly potstickers are super easy to whip up, and the spicy oil sauce is absolutely on point. But if do not really have a high tolerance for heat, don’t worry. You can add the sauce, to taste, or you can even omit them for the kids.
The sauce simply adds a pop of heat with every bite – a sauce so good that you’ll want to drizzle it on pretty much anything and everything. I even put it on my fried eggs!

Ingredients
Instructions
1. Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in crushed peppers and garlic, stirring occasionally, until the oil reaches 180 degrees F, about 8-10 minutes; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cabbage, carrot, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, sesame oil and white pepper.*
3. To assemble the dumplings, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.*
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potstickers in a single layer and cook until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Serve immediately with hot chili oil sauce.
