Chicken and Pork Pot Stickers - Erin

OMG....You HAVE to make these pot stickers!!! They are soooo yummy!!! I hate to post this before Teressa because she's making it tonight too, but I have time now. I hope she likes them as much as I did!

I wouldn't have thought pot stickers were as healthful as they are! This recipe is on page 90 of Cook This, Not That!, and I did switch it up just a bit. The recipe calls for shiitake mushrooms, and I hate mushrooms. I left them out. The recipe also calls for Sriracha, a chili sauce which originates in Thailand. I left that out because it was for the family. I didn't want it to be spicy. I added a bit more soy sauce than was called for, but other than those changes, I made it exactly as written. ;) OH! I also made some brown rice to put it on. I didn't have mine with brown rice, but Jase and Madeline did.

Here's what the critics had to say about the pot stickers:

Madeline - "It was okay, but I didn't like it." (She ate all of it, though.)
Riley - I'm not sure if Jase tried to give her any, but I am sure she wouldn't have eaten them
if he had.
Jase - "I thought it was good. I didn't taste any difference between the chicken and the pork,
and I thought the brown rice tasted just like white rice."
Erin - "YUM YUM YUM!!! I liked the pork better than the chicken. I can't wait to make this
again!"











Here is what this cost:

Soy Sauce - I already had this on hand.
Sesame Oil - I already had this on hand.
Asian Pot Stickers - $2.68 a box (I bought three boxes but should have only bought two)
Sugar Snap Peas - $2.63 (I bought fresh instead of frozen)
Rice Wine Vinegar - $1.82
Brown Rice - $1.50
Sesame Seeds - $3.74

This recipe will get cheaper now that I have plenty of sesame seeds and rice wine vinegar on hand. :)

Please try this recipe! I'd love to hear what you think!! Three, Two, One, "Start Cookin'!"
