Pot Stickers and Rice

Ingredients
(Pot Stickers)
1 packages of round wonton wrappers
1 pound ground pork
4 scallions
1/2 head of Napa cabbage
1 can water chestnuts (chopped and drained)
1 shredded carrot
1 TBSP sesame oil
1 TBSP Liquid Aminos (or soy)
1 tsp ground ginger
(Rice)
1 cup uncooked rice
1 chopped carrot
1/2 large chopped onion
1/2 cup frozen peas

Directions
Potstickers - Mix all ingredients and place by spoonfuls in the center of won ton.  Seal edges with water.  Brown pot stickers until golden then add 1/3 broth and replace lid quickly. (Think back to when you made Rice A Roni.  It's the same concept).  Cook until broth is absorbed and the top of the pot stickers are cooked completely  (5-6 mins). Serve with browned side up.

Rice - Cook rice according to directions.  Meanwhile, saute carrots and onions until desired firmness.  Add frozen peas.  Add to rice.  Sprinkle with soy, and pepper.

Sauce - A simple sauce was created with sherry, soy, and brown sugar from dipping the pot stickers.

Freezing - After wontons are assembled, but before cooking, place on cookie sheet to freeze.  Once frozen,  package and store in airtight container or zip-loc bag.  This recipe was enough to freeze half the prepared filling for the next time, feed my family of 3 adults, and freeze about 20 assembled pot stickers.
