Spicy Cheese & Artichoke Pot Stickers

1. 1

   Finely chop artichoke hearts. Leave very small chunks. Mix artichoke hearts, cream cheese, cheese, garlic and red pepper until well combined. Place one and a half teaspoons of artichoke mixture in the center of each wrapper. Form filling into an oval shape. The goal is to have as much filling while still being able to seal well. Lightly wet the outer edge of the wrapper and press and seal together, forming half moons. Sealing the wrappers well is the most important step to success. Place pot stickers on wax paper or parchment paper to keep from sticking to the counter.

   Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. When oil is warm (but not hot), place dumplings in pan, not touching. Pan fry each side for about 3 to 5 minutes until browned and slightly crispy, using tongs to flip over. Turn the heat up a little if pot stickers are not simmering. While you don't want them charred, you do want to let them fry long enough to be crispy. Remove from pan and allow to cool on a paper towel. Repeat until all dumplings have been cooked. Allow to cool for five minutes and serve.
