Walleye Postickers

[OnAFly]

I'm kinda tired of the regular fried walleye, foil pouch walleye, pan seared walleye, so I thought I'd try something different.

Ingredients:

1 Package Round Dumpling Wrappers

2C Walleye crumbles

1TBSP Grated Ginger

3 Cloves Garlic

3 Green Onions

1/2C Cilantro (Fresh)

1 TBSP Fish Sauce

2 TBSP Soy Sauce

1 TBSP Oyster Sauce

1 TBSP Sesame Oil

1/4 tsp White Pepper

Chicken Stock (14.5oz can should be enough)

I cooked the walleye, 2 fillets at a time, in the microwave for 4 minutes. This worked really well to just quickly cook the fish so I could break it up. From there, I just finely chopped all of the ingredients and mixed in a bowl. You could coarse chop and use a food processor if you want.

You just place 1 TBSP of the mixture on a single wrapper, wet on side of the wrapper with water, and fold over pinching the edges. I folded the edges over each other similar to what I've seen done in restaurants. They seemed to hold together well. Makes ~40 dumplings.

Once you've finished wrapping, place 6-8 in a pan over med heat with a bit of oil and sear off the 3 sides of each dumpling. Once seared, pour a little chicken stock in the pan, cover, and let them steam until done. Maybe 4 mins.

Dipping Sauce (Hotter):

2TBSP Soy Sauce

1TBSP Rice Vinegar

1tsp Sesame Oil

1/2TBSP Green Onions

Chopped Chiles (Thai if you can find them, Serranos work too)

Dipping Sauce Sweet:

2TBSP Soy Sauce

2TBSP Sweet Chili Sauce

1tsp Sesame Oil

1tsp Thai Chili Sauce

1 TBSP Fish Sauce

Enjoy!

Man, that looks unbelievable! We do a lot of Asian cooking at home, so this is right up our alley. Thanks for sharing.

this does look super good.. may have to give it a try myself some day soon.. I dont have any walleye, I would assume Panfish and or talapia would work just as well.

I made one batch of these which turned out to make 44 potstickers. Between 10 people, they went quick . I think any fish would work, walleye was just my oldest package in the freezer. I'll probably try and catch a couple snake pike to try it next. BTW, the hotter sauce was way better IMO.

It is possible to buy "hot oil" or "hot sesame oil" which might be good in the sauce. I will have to try those.

VERY good looking Chow ONAFLY! This is on my evergrowing list of food to make.

One more tip on these, if you let the chicken stock completely evaporate, the postickers will stick...badly. I made a couple as a test and I let the liquid go accidentally. It was a mess.
