Pork Pot Stickers with Creamy Asian Dipping Sauce

These little bites are so great to have on hand for easy entertaining or a quick, on-the-go weeknight meal.  You can use ground chicken or ground turkey if you don’t like ground pork, whatever you like.  It may seem like a lot of work to stuff and pinch that many little wonton wrappers but really it goes fast and you can do it in stages.  First, sauté the meat mixture and let that cool.  You can even refrigerate it for a few hours while you are running errands.  Then, add the egg and cilantro to it and stuff those little wrappers, making sure to close them up tight. This step will take you about 15-20 minutes. That’s it.  Freeze them until you are ready to use them or boil then fry a few right then and freeze the rest for later.  So easy and the flavor of hoisin with the meat and little crunch from the cabbage and carrots really is a crowd pleaser.  I like to serve them with the Asian dipping sauce below but if you didn’t have time to make that you can use whatever favorite sauce you have on hand or just eat them plain, they have plenty of flavor.
