Pan Fried Pot Stickers Recipes

PERFECT POT STICKERS

Steps:

• Place ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Top with chopped green cabbage. Mix with fork until thoroughly combined. Tamp down lightly; cover with plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour.
• Place flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in hot water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a shaggy dough. Flour your hands and transfer dough to a work surface. Knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If dough seems too sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour, about 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic, and let it rest about 30 minutes.
• When dough has rested, divide into 4 equal pieces. Cover 3 pieces with a dish cloth while you work the first piece. Roll into a small log about the thickness of a thumb, about 3/4 inch. Divide each log into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin 3 1/2-inch circle on a lightly floured surface to form the pot sticker wrappers. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
• Lightly moisten the edges of a wrapper with your wet finger. Place a small scoop of the ground pork mixture onto the center of a wrapper. Fold up the 2 sides and pinch together in the center. Pinch together the remaining edges, forming "pleats" along one side. Tap the pot sticker on the work surface to slightly flatten the bottom; form a slight curve in it so it stands upright in the pan. Transfer to a well-floured plate. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• Mix together seasoned rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl for the dipping sauce.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Place about 6 or 7 pot stickers in the hot oil, flat side down. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in water and quickly cover the pan; steam for 3 minutes. Uncover; reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until water evaporates and bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer to a warm serving dish. Repeat with remaining pot stickers. Serve with dipping sauce.

CHINESE PORK POTSTICKERS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut the bok choy or cabbage across into thin strips and mix with 2 teaspoons salt; set aside for 5 minutes.

• In a bowl, mix the flour and 1 cup boiling water until a soft dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface about 5 minutes, or until smooth.
• Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a roll 12 inches long and cut each roll into 1/2-inch slices.
• Roll 1 slice of dough into a 3-inch circle and place 1 tablespoon pork mixture in the center of the circle.
• Lift up the edges of the circle and pinch 5 pleats up to create a pouch to encase the mixture. Pinch the top together.
• Repeat with the remaining slices of dough and filling.
• Heat a wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, tilting the wok to coat the sides. If using a nonstick skillet, add 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil.
• Place 12 dumplings in a single layer in the wok and fry 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
• Add 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
• Repeat with the remaining dumplings, using 1/2 to 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1/2 cup of water for each batch.
• To make the dipping sauce, in a small bowl, mix the soy sauce with 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
• Serve the dipping sauce with the dumplings. Enjoy.
