Thai Potstickers

I thought I'd try something a little different and this was excellent. I love the flavor and saltiness of fish sauce. I made this a bit healthier by using chicken breast and running it through the cuisinart after I chopped it into cubes.

Mix together in bowl:
2 boneless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces (I ran mine through the food processor after cubing)
1 Tbsp. fish sauce (Or vegetarian fish sauce, or regular soy sauce if vegetarian)
1 Tbsp. regular soy sauce + 2 tsp. dark soy sauce
1 heaping Tbsp. arrowroot or cornstarch powder
1 thumb-size piece galangal (or ginger), peeled and grated
1/3 cup sherry or white wine (regular or cooking versions)

Other ingredients to add should equal the mass of the protein portion and can include:
2 shallots, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red chilli, sliced (and de-seeded, unless you like a lot of spice)
1/2 cup cabbage, thinly sliced or grated
4-5 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
Bamboo Shoots, Brocolli, Carrots, Peppers...

1 pkg. fresh wonton or gyoza wrappers
place 1-2 tsp filling into a wrapper, wet the outer edge, and pinch it shut into a half moon or any other shape.
