Potstickers and Sauce

I love Chinese food, or as the Chinese call it, "food".   Haha!  These potstickers are simple to make and much cheaper to have at home than ordering them in a restaurant.  The original recipe is from Martha Stewart.  I am not a huge fan of really salty soy sauce dips, so I made my own version of the dipping sauce which begins with an orange juice base.  It has a little less of the soy sauce but still a great flavor.  I also included the original sauce, in case you are a fan of the savory!

Potstickers and Sauce
36 wonton wrappers 
2 Tbsp. oil for frying, per batch of 12 wontons (I used vegetable oil)
1/2 lb. ground turkey
1 tsp. peanut oil
1 cup finely chopped bok choy shreds
1/2 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 large egg white
           Combine all the ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl. Lay out the wonton wrappers 12 at a time.  Set a small bowl of water nearby for sealing the edges.  Add approx. 2 tsp. of mixture to each wonton.  Wet your index finger with the water and run it along each edge of the wrapper.  Fold over the wraper to create a triangle.  You can fry them like this or you can wrinkle and press the edges together for a more traditional dumpling shape.  In a large frying pan heat over medium-high 2 Tbsp. of oil.  Add 12 wontons to the pan and let the edges brown for a minute or two.  Pour 1/3 cup water into the pan, immediately cover, turn heat to medium and let the dumplings steam for 5 minutes.
