I know everyone buys these from the frozen section at the local grocery now. But sometimes it's just fun to make your own... |

1 egg white 1 clove garlic, minced 30 square won-ton wrappers cornstarch 4 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil, divided 1 cup water, divided |
|||||||||||
| 1 | Heat a nonstick skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add cabbage and cook briefly; then add small amount of water to pan and cover to steam. Continue steaming and tossing until cabbage becomes tender. Transfer cabbage to a medium sized bowl and allow to cool completely. |

| 2 | Add chicken and next 6 ingredients (chicken thru garlic) to the cabbage; combine well. |

| 3 | Working with one won-ton wrapper at a time (cover remaining won-ton wrappers to keep them from drying out), spoon about 1 tablespoon chicken mixture into the center of each wrapper. |

| 4 | Moisten edges of wrapper with water and bring 2 opposite corners to center, pinching points to seal. Bring the remaining 2 corners to center, pinching points to seal. Pinch 4 edges together to seal. Place pot stickers on a large baking sheet sprinkled with cornstarch; cover loosely with a towel to keep them from drying out. |
