Who doesn't like pot stickers? With salad, chili oil, in broth or as is. These Chinese steamed dumplings are easy to make, delicious and freeze super well.
Recipe for the filling:
1 lbs ground meat (pork, beef, lamb, or whatever is convenient)
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup spring onions or chives
2 tablespoons ginger finely grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1.5 cups cabbage (finely diced or shredded)
cayenne pepper to taste
Allow filling to fully cool in refrigerator.
Recipe for dough:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup hot water
Combine dough ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic. Rest for at least 30 minutes.
Divide dough by 4. Roll out a fourth into approximate thumb thickness and divide into 6. Roll each piece into ball.
Flatten balls into disks with rolling pin to approximately 3.5 inch diameter. Fill with stuffing as seen in video. Set aside on well floured surface until ready to cook.
At this point you can freeze the dumplings spread out on a baking sheet. As soon as they are frozen, remove from freezer and pack into freezer bags.
To cook:
Add oil to heated pan, add dumplings, make sure they don't tough as they will stick. Cook until bottoms gently brown. Add water to the pot. Do this by removing the lid to create a gap and pour in water to cover bottom of pan approximately 1/4 - 1/2 inch high. Be VERY CAREFUL here, you're pouring water into hot oil!!!!
When water appears to be gone, remove lid and let cook until all moisture is gone and bottom of dumplings are brown and crunchy.
Sauce:
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
chili oil and/or sesame seeds to taste
