- As originally posted, this recipe is identical...except that I omitted
- the addition of vinegar to the dipping sauce. here is the corrected
- recipe.
-
- Pot Stickers (Kuo Tieh, or fried/steamed dumplings)
- FILLING
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 1-2 Tbsps. chopped scallions
- 1 tsp. more or less chopped cilentro
- 1-2 tsps. gingerroot, chopped fine
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. dark soy
- 1 Tbsp. Shao Hsing wine or dry sherry
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
-
- WRAPPERS
- Gyoza skins or small egg roll wrappers (available from oriental grocery)
-
- DIPPING SAUCE
- 1/4 cup light soy
- 1-2 tsp. rice vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 tsp. finely slivered gingerroot
-
- Mix pork, scallions, cilentro, gingerroot, soy, wine or sherry and sesame
- oil in a bowl. Let stand about 15 minutes or a half hour to let the
- flavors mix.
- Prepare dipping sauce by mixing slivered gingeroot with light soy and
- vinegar in a bowl. Let stand.
- To assemble pot stickers, take a gyoza skin or egg roll wrapper (If you
- use square egg roll wrappers, cut off the corners to make them rounder.)
- Place about 1/2 teaspoon or slightly more of the filling in the center.
- Moisten the edges of the skin or wrapper with water and fold over into a
- half circle, squeezing the edges so they stick together.
- Now the tricky part. Start pleating the edges and squeezing them. AFter
- the edges are pleated take the dumpling and flatten the bottom by pushing
- it down gently on a flat surface. Then, pull the ends toward you slightly
- to make half-moon shape.
- To cook, spray a frying pan with non-stick spray. Heat the pan on high.
- Place
- the dumplings inside and brown the bottoms of the dumplings. Should take
- about a minute or two. Then, pour about 1/3 cup of water or chicken
- stock quickly into the frying pan and cover. Let the dumplings steam for
- about 3-5 minutes.
-
- Take the kuo tieh out and arrange them on a plate on their sides so that the
- browned bottoms are showing. Serve and pass the dipping sauce.
