Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce

5 tablespoons white vinegar

4 teaspoons Sriracha sauce

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

Scallion greens (optional), for garnish

2 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 medium carrot, diced medium

1 large egg white

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

36 wonton wrappers

Nonstick cooking spray

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha, sugar, ginger, and sesame oil; set dipping sauce aside.

Make pot stickers: In a food processor, process scallions, carrot, egg white, and half the shrimp until a paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl. Roughly chop remaining shrimp and add to bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons dipping sauce.

Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, place 1 scant tablespoon shrimp mixture in center. With a wet finger, moisten edge of wrapper, then fold over filling and press to seal. Cover filled dumplings with a kitchen towel while you work.

Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over high. In batches, cook dumplings until golden brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Carefully add 1/2 cup water to skillet, cover, and cook until water has almost evaporated and dumplings are tender, 3 minutes. Uncover and cook until remaining water evaporates (reduce heat to medium if dumplings are overbrowning). Transfer pot stickers to a plate. Wipe skillet clean between batches. Add scallion greens to dipping sauce if desired and serve alongside pot stickers.
