One of the “convenience” foods that our family likes to eat are pot stickers.  We can normally go through 2-3 packages rationing out them to the family.  They get expensive if we eat them that way, so as with everything, if you can make it, you should:)  I normally do not like to “fry” anything.  We used to do a homemade Chinese meal with egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken and pot stickers.  By the time I was finished, I felt like I was covered in oil, I did not enjoy doing it.  Then we had forgotten about our delicious meal.  Until my daughter mentioned it to me while I was making my grocery list for the month, so I picked up some wont ton wrappers and decided to make them.

I guarantee that they were at the end of my menu and I waited until the least possible time to make them.  But I realized that with  the help of my two daughters, who enjoyed wrapping them up—-it was much easier than back in the day.  These are super simple to make.  There is not “exact” filling method.  We just used what we liked.

Here in a skillet we cooked 1 pkg ground breakfast sausage.  Then added 1 T ground ginger,  2 T fresh minced garlic, and chopped up 6 green onions.

I then added about 4 cups shredded cabbage to the mixture.

We let that cook for a few moments to soften the cabbage and then we got to filling.

I am sure there is a RIGHT way to make these, but I didn’t care as long as they were just closed:) 

We wiped a little bit of water on the corners to seal the pot sticker.  The package said use egg whites.  Water worked fine.  If you are not going to cook these right away, cover them in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator.   

We then added about 2-3 T olive oil to the pan and let it heat up.  I then set the potsticker into the pan and let it brown on one side.  I carefully turned it over to let the other side cook.  Then I added about 1/3 cup of water and put the lid on  I let it cook for about 3 minutes.  I then took them out and placed them in a serving bowl.  I sprinkled them with soy sauce.  They are yummy!

The next day I took the leftover filling and added some chicken bouillon to it and made a soup for my husband.  He loved it.

Try these one night when you have the time to do them:)  Be blessed and SMILE!

I wanted to give a heads up to my readers….about some changes on my site.

  I have offered the full year home ec course on here for a few years now.  I am thankful to all the outside links that I have used but have found that as a parent, I want to know what my children are viewing and if I can’t have control I want to change that.

I don’t do advertising or popups on my site for the reason I don’t want objectionable material for my viewers or their children.  I want it to be a family friendly site.  One that you don’t have to jump through hoops to get your material.  I write this as the Lord has shown me, I rely on Him providing for me financially to be able to continue with it and He has.

I want to let you know that I will be removing the full years course and replacing it with the option for you to do the Kitchen Skills Course  

as well as a new one…….Household and personal management skills

  It will be available to begin this September. All content and downloads will be through my site only, no outside links.   It will be the same format as the Kitchen Skills course with downloads and assessments for parents.  These will still be completely FREE for anyone to use.

Keep watching…….. it will be available soon.  I apologize to anyone who has begun using the other free year long course that I will be taking down.  These two courses that I will offer, will have WAY MORE content then the original course.  I will also be working on adding another few classes covering other areas, in the future.

If you prefer to use a printable copy you can purchase these courses in ebook form or from Amazon for an actual book.  Look to the right on the side bar menu for more information.   I want it to be available for anyone no matter what their financial situation is.

Have a wonderful rest of your day and I will keep you posted!!!  Be blessed
