Pork and Kimchi Potstickers

Easy peasy potstickers! Perfectly crispy + a crowd-favorite with an amazing pork-kimchi filling! BONUS: it’s freezer-friendly.

Is it weird that the only things in my freezer are frozen fruit for smoothies and 5 different types of potstickers?

No, wait. I just remembered.

I also have these biscuits in the freezer right now. Hey, you never know when you’ll have a biscuit emergency. Believe me. It’s a thing.

But more importantly, I have hoarded so many potstickers in the last few months. And now, I can add these Korean-inspired ones right in my arsenal.

With a pork and kimchi filling, the kimchi provides that perfectly tart, refreshing crunch in every bite with that kick of heat.

You’d be amazed as to how this ingredient can make these bad boys shine.

For those of you not familiar with kimchi, this is a fermented vegetable dish made with napa cabbage. It is a staple in Korean cuisine, and can be found in most grocery stores such as Whole Foods.

And once you try this, you’ll want to add it to everything, particularly fried rice!

Pork and Kimchi Potstickers

Yield: 32 potstickers

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Easy peasy potstickers! Perfectly crispy + a crowd-favorite with an amazing pork-kimchi filling! BONUS: it’s freezer-friendly.

Print Recipe

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces ground pork
• 1 cup kimchi, drained and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 32 (3-inch) round wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, kimchi, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil.
2. To assemble the potstickers, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pork-kimchi mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.
3. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add potstickers in a single layer and cook until beginning to crisp on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Working quickly, add 1/4 cup water; cover and cook until liquid has evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are crisp and golden, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Serve immediately.

Notes:

*To freeze, place uncooked potstickers in a single layer on a baking sheet overnight. Transfer to freezer bags.

Butternut Squash Carbonara

If you love carbonara, you will love this! It is amazingly creamy and loaded with crispy pancetta and fried sage leaves!

So we lost the World Series.

We’re absolutely devastated. Even though we kind of knew that the Red Sox was going to win.

One can only be so hopeful, right?

So don’t mind me. I’m drowning my sorrows, all of my sorrows, in this seasonal carbonara.

It has all the crispy pancetta one can need with the best part ever:

Fried freaking sage leaves.

Yes, yes, yes. And the sauce is so incredibly rich and creamy with the help of the butternut squash puree.

Helpful tip: you can actually use canned butternut squash puree, which cuts the prep time down by an hour at least!

Skinnytaste Meal Plan (October 29-November 4)

A free 7-day flexible meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle™ SmartPoints®.

Hope everyone’s having a great weekend! It’s stormy and cold here, so I added some of my favorite comfort food recipes to the meal plan this week.

If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.

Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing!

THE DETAILS:

Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!

The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.

And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!
