Pork Pot Stickers W Ginger Dipping Sauce Recipes

PORK POTSTICKERS

Steps:

• Place green onions on a flat work surface. Slice whites and about 1 inch of the green parts thinly. Reserve 1 tablespoon sliced green onions for the sauce.
• Combine pork, egg yolk, green onion, garlic, cilantro, and salt in a bowl. Mix filling thoroughly by hand.
• Separate and place wonton wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten edges of wonton wrappers with water. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press edges together to seal the potsticker, removing any air pockets.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a few potstickers; cook until they float to the top, about 2 minutes. Remove potstickers with a slotted spoon and place on baking sheet or plate to dry. Repeat with remaining potstickers.
• Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar together in a small bowl with a fork to make sauce. Add the reserved green onions. Serve sauce alongside the potstickers.

POT STICKERS WITH SWEET SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In small bowl, mix pork, onions and gingerroot.
• Working with 1 wonton skin at a time, place 1 heaping teaspoon pork mixture on center of each wonton skin. Moisten edges of wonton skin with water; fold in half over filling to form triangle and seal sides. Bring 2 ends together to form a "hat" shape (see photo). Place pot stickers on cookie sheet; cover with damp towel to keep from drying out.
• In Dutch oven, heat 3 quarts water to boiling. Add half of the pot stickers; boil about 5 minutes or until edges of wonton skins are clear. Using slotted spoon, remove pot stickers from water; drain thoroughly on paper towels. Repeat with remaining pot stickers.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix sauce ingredients until sugar is dissolved; set aside.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add half of the pot stickers; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp and golden brown on bottom. Turn; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until browned and crisp. Using pancake turner, remove pot stickers from oil; place on serving platter. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and remaining pot stickers. Serve warm with sauce.

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.

POTSTICKER SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl, or shake up in a sealed jar. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an air tight container for one month.

PORK POTSTICKERS WITH CITRUS-SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the pork, cabbage, ginger, garlic, shallots, scallions, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Process the mixture until it is smooth.
• Place a flat 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Dip your finger in water and moisten one edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half then pinch it firmly to seal it shut. (The potstickers can be cooked as is, or you can go the additional step of folding pleats into each potsticker.) Arrange the formed potstickers upright (forming a flattened bottom with the folds on top) on a baking sheet and cover them with a damp cloth while you finish assembling the remaining potstickers.
• Add the vegetable oil to a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil to coat the bottom of the pan then add a portion of the potstickers in a single layer and sear the bottoms until they are golden brown and crunchy.
• Once the potstickers are browned on the bottom, add about 1/4 cup water to the pan and cover it immediately to steam the potstickers for 5 minutes or until the mixture is cooked through.
• Remove the lid and continue cooking while swirling the potstickers in the pan until all of the water has evaporated.
• Transfer the potstickers to a paper towel-lined plate then repeat the searing and steaming process with the remaining potstickers.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until combined. Serve the potstickers with the sauce for dipping.

PORK AND GINGER POT STICKERS

Steps:

• Sprinkle cabbage with the 1/2 tablespoon of salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Place the cabbage on a clean dishtowel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any water. The dryer the cabbage the better. In a large bowl thoroughly mix the cabbage with all of the other ingredients, except the chicken stock. Cook a tester to check the seasoning.;

• In a stainless steel bowl mix flour and salt. Slowly add hot water to flour in 1/4 cup increments. Mix with chopsticks until a ball is formed and the dough is not too hot to handle. On a floured surface, knead dough until it becomes a smooth, elastic ball. Place back in bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rest for at least 1 hour. Working on a floured surface with floured hands, roll out dough to form a long 'noodle', 1-inch in diameter. Cut 1/2-inch pieces and turn them over so the cut sides are facing up. Flatten with your palm and roll out thin using a rolling pin. The dumpling wrapper should end up about 3 inches in diameter.
• MAKING THE DUMPLINGS: Place a small mound of filling in the middle of the wrapper. (Be very careful not to touch the edges with the filling as this will impede proper sealing of the dumplings. Nothing is worse than dumplings breaking during cooking.) Fold the wrapper in half to form a half moon shape. Starting on one end fold/pinch the wrapper tightly together. Proceed with this fold/pinch method until the dumpling is completely sealed. There will be approximately 10 to 14 folds per dumpling. Rest the dumplings with the folded edges straight up.
• COOKING THE DUMPLINGS: In a hot saute pan coated well with oil, place pot stickers flat side down and cook until the bottom is browned. Have pan cover ready and add 1 cup of chicken stock, cover immediately. Be careful, the liquid will splatter! The stock will steam the pot stickers. Check them in 5 minutes as more stock may be needed. The trick here is that once the dumplings are firm and fully cooked the stock will evaporate and the bottoms will crisp-up again.
• Combine all and serve in a small bowl.
• PLATING: Serve pot stickers on a large platter lined with lettuce with a bowl of dipping sauce on the side.
