Taste the flavours of Asia in a delightful new way with deconstructed potstickers made from rice flour, cabbage and ground pork or chicken. Easier than fussing with wrappers and oh so good!
You know what’s amazing? That someone can throw an enjoyable, welcoming party every week–for a whole year! If you haven’t popped over to Angie’s Fiesta Friday before, you really should. It’s the most interactive and friendly bunch of foodies that you are ever likely to meet on WordPress. I love it when I can participate. And I certainly did not want to miss the big anniversary bash that starts this week!
So I am bringing out my new potsticker recipe a few weeks early in honour of the auspicious occasion. If you like these inside out potstickers, now you’ve got time to make them your own by the time Superbowl Sunday and Chinese New Year arrive next month! For even more party food ideas, see my recent roundup of 12 Gluten Free Party Starters and Sweets. Let the celebrations begin!
Inside Out Potstickers - Gluten Free
- 1.5 cups rice flour
- 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 240 g (8 ounces) ground pork or chicken
- 3/4 cup cabbage, shredded
- 1/4 cup chopped white or yellow onion
- 1 shallot, minced
- oyster sauce or sweet chili sauce, to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- soy sauce, to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder, optional
Directions:
- Add sesame oil to a heated skillet and sauté shallots for one minute. Add ground chicken or port and season with five spice (if using) and ginger. Brown meat in a skillet until cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Turn off heat and season with oyster sauce (or chili sauce) and soy sauce to taste.
- Stir in shredded cabbage and onion (which can be prepared faster with a food processor).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flours, and salt with a fork, followed by egg and 1/3 to 1/2 cup water. Continue whisking until a smooth, thick batter forms. Add meat and cabbage mixture and stir until combined well.
- In a medium skillet or wok, pour oil to a depth of 1 cm. Heat oil over medium heat. Batter should bubble in the oil when it is hot enough. Add small spoonfuls of batter and fry on one side until golden, then flip over and fry the other side until golden as well. Remove the potsticker cakes and drain on paper towels. Serve potstickers warm, with garlic-infused soy sauce for dipping.
I’m bringing this recipe to Fiesta Friday #52 and sharing it here too.

Delicious and ready for a party!
Definitely! Easy too! 🙂
Great recipe! Delicious!
Thanks! You should try it to be sure… 🙂
Can this work with an egg replacement? I’m allergic to egg.
It might work. The recipe needs a binder, but egg replacer could be tried. I would suggest this homemade replacer: http://wholenewmom.com/recipes/energ-egg-substitute-egg-replacer-without-eggs/ Please let me know if you get it to work. 🙂 Are you gluten free too? Because wheat flour could be used if you can tolerate it.
These look amazing and sound like they have incredible flavor! Yummy…
No stinting on flavour (or sodium) allowed for this party food!
I’ve bookmarked this because I have tapioca flour and white rice flour and I just always use them to make pancakes. But I love the flavors in potstickers and also don’t love wrapping and frying them. Perfect solution!
So great that you already have both flours! Enjoy!
Ooh looks good! Potstickers are my favorite 🙂 Will have to try this!
Please do! They are so simple this way.
Ooh these look really yummy, a nice fuss free version too!
Yes, I need recipes that are simple some days–or most days. 🙂
What a creative idea to put it all together. I too can’t have egg, so I might be experimenting with making these egg free.
I love this idea and have never worked with tapioca flour, very interesting! Happy FF! 🙂
Gosh, these look and sound fantastic!! Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting on my spring rolls 🙂
You have a delicious site! Have a wonderful day!
I love creative recipes! I’ll be back to your site for more I’m sure!
These look fabulous! I love potstickers and making your own batter for them instead is so creative!
Thanks, Kelly! I’ll probably be doing a Lunar New Year roundup again this month too. I’ll post an invitation for FBCers on Facebook soon. I’d love to include one of your recipes. 🙂
We made these tonight and they were wonderful!
I am so happy you enjoyed the potstickers! With Chinese New Year coming soon, I’ll have to make them again too. Thanks for reporting back! 🙂
