Prep Time40 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time50 mins
Ingredients
 1.50 Ground American Lamb
 0.50 cup Scallions, finely sliced
 4 tsp Soy sauce or coconut aminos
 1 tbsp Curry powder
 1 tbsp Fresh ginger finely grated
 1 Package wonton wrappers, about 52 sheets
 1.50 tsp Oil
 Water
Dipping Sauce
 0.50 cup Rice vinegar
 0.50 cup Soy sauce
 1 tbsp Fresh ginger grated
 2 tbsp Chili oil
1

In a medium bowl, mix together the ground lamb, scallions, soy sauce, pepper, and ginger.

2

In a small bowl, mix together the dipping sauce ingredients. I'm sharing my personal preference in ratios, but use as much or as little ginger and chili oil as you'd like.

3

Fill each wonton wrapper with 1 tbsp of filling. Brush the edges lightly with water on your finger. Pleat or fold as you please. Press firmly to seal.

4

Add 1.5 tablespoons of flavorless oil in a non-stick pan making sure the bottom of the pan is covered with oil. Turn the heat to medium-high.

5

Add the dumplings to the pan letting them touch. Crowd the pan. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 1-2 minutes.

6

Cover with 1/4 inch of water and immediately cover with the lid. Cook until the water is just barely gone, 4-5 minutes. Remove the lid.

7

Gently peel them from the pan and serve with the dipping sauce.

Notes
8

You do not want to overcook lamb pot stickers or they will be dry. Steam or boil dumplings for 6 minutes. Or, you can sear pot stickers for 1-2 minutes, then steam them for 4-5 minutes as explained in this recipe.
