Pink Sticker Pot Stickers Recipe

I have written in this space on previous occasions, about how thrifty I am with my grocery shopping and meal preparation for my family. Well this recipe takes my frugal eye, to a whole new level, as every single ingredient that was not already on my pantry shelf, had a 50% off fluorescent pink sticker on the package! The best part is-my family thought that the casual lunch that I delivered was delicious and had no idea that I had done so with a minuscule budget. I served the pot-stickers with a choice of dipping sauces: BBQ, hoisin, spicy peanut and sweet chili and a big bowl of steamed edamame beans covered with a glistening of sea salt.

To further enhance the savings, I bought a super-sized 5 kg package of ground pork, browned it and poured off the fat. I wrapped it carefully and put it back into the freezer for another economical supper. In fact, I even rinse the ground meat with a spray of very hot water as its sits in a colander. This way you can purchase regular ground beef or pork and there is no more fact than lean or extra lean that you would pay a higher price per pound for.
