Chinese Enchiladas



I love pot stickers. I like to imagine everyone loves pot stickers because they're just fucking delicious.  If you don't like pot stickers then I suggest you take a moment to sort out your priorities.


I came up with this as a way to make a meal out of an appetizer without having to create each individual little pot sticker because honestly, who has that kind of patience when you're hungry?


For the filling you will need:


-1/2 - 1 lb ground pork sausage (depending on how many you're making)
-5 green onions, sliced
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp pepper
-1/2 tsp sesame oil
-1 tsp soy sauce

For the wrapper you will need:*


- 2 cups flour
-1 cup water, brought to a simmer
-1 tsp salt

For the sauce you will need:


-1 cup soy sauce
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-1/4 - 1/3 cup brown sugar

In a bowl, combine all ingredients for the filling and mix well.  Cover with plastic wrap and set in fridge for up to an hour.

Pour flour into a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Bring water just to a light boil and slowly pour into the flour, stirring to combine.  Form a ball (careful, it will be hot) in the bowl, cover with a towel and set aside.

In a small sauce pan combine sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 - 15 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.

Take out your meat mixture and let it come to room temperature.

Flour your counter/board/whatever.  Rip off a chunk of dough a little larger than a golf ball and roll it out to the size of a medium tortilla - be careful as it will be very delicate.  It doesn't need to be super thin, either. Place 2 tbsp or so of meat mixture in and brush edges with water.  Seal the edges together. If you notice any cracks, brush some water on and massage it til sealed. When you have used up all of your meat mixture, heat a large skillet to medium-high heat (electric stoves at about a 7ish) and place 4 - 5 of your "enchiladas" in the hot oil and brown for 3 - 5 minutes.  Take a quarter cup of water and pour into skillet and immediately cover with a lid.


Do not remove the lid until the water has boiled out.


Once its been boiled out, gently roll onto side and brown.  Brown each side and let rest 2-3 minutes on paper towels. Serve hot with warm sauce.  Goes great with fried rice!

ENJOY!


*Please note that I have never used wonton skins or anything like that when making these so I don't know how it will turn out.
