Forget Construction: LET'S COOK!

First of all, I like to eat what I like and you all will see that in my recipes. I live in california so you might see a lot of avacado, pepper sauce and spices you might not be used to. Give it a try!
So if something sounds off, weird or just insane bear with me, try it on your friends, what ever. I wouldn't post it unless it's good. [I have a friend that can attest to being my taste tester].

Let's cook. For the inaugural easy home chef recipe I've been thinking about this a lot and I have picked....drum roll........pork pot stickers.

Ingredients.
1 package of pork carnita meat ( I usually get from trader joe's, but most bigger grocery retailers are carrying this now)
one package won ton wrappers, small
bunch of cilantro
one medium sweet onion, finely chopped
touch of butter to saute the above, to your taste
1 cup vegetable broth
salt, pepper to taste
tablespoon of hoisin sauce (or to taste, I like the color it gives plus the spicy kick)

Chop the carnita meat into small bits and saute with butter on medium heat along with the onion and cilantro. When the onion is translucent, add the hoisin sauce, salt, pepper.

Meanwhile, wet a paper towel and keep the won ton wrappers wrapped up to resist drying. I give them a quick spray of pam then heat on a non-stick pan for about 10 seconds per side to make them easier to roll. After heating the won ton...

place the meat filling into the wrapper, don't overfill, I like to fill them about 1/2 full so I have room to crimp them shut, use your imagination and make a design crimp,...roll it up, pinch it or I tried to make a decorative flower once!

Heat a pan to fairly high heat, using no oil, pan just. Add the pot stickers and cook them until they stick, being careful not to let them burn. When they are good and stuck, add the vegetable broth, enough to just cover the pan not covering the stickers, maybe a 1/4 of the way up the sticker. Cover quickly, you want the steam from the broth to both let go of the sticker and to fully cook the exposed won ton.

Turn off the heat, let stand for 4 minutes and ENJOY.

I like to garnish the plate with some colorful cole slaw or serve them ontop of lettuce leaves with a little hoisin sauce drizzled on top.

I hope you like them!
