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.

PORK WONTONS WITH SESAME SAUCE
This folding technique is easier than an elaborate pleated dumpling. Quickly boiling instead of frying them is a foolproof cooking method that gives you dumplings that are just as good at room temperature as they are fresh out of the pot.

Steps:
- Wontons:
- Using your hands, mix pork, scallion, soy paste, sesame oil, grapeseed oil, ginger, wine, salt, and pepper (if using) in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Crack egg into center of mixture and stir vigorously in one direction with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until mixture is shaggy and lightened in color, about 4 minutes. Cover and chill at least 15 minutes and up to 12 hours.
- Fill a small bowl with cold water. Take a wonton wrapper and lay it in your palm. Using a small offset spatula or butter knife, press about 1 tsp. pork mixture into the center of wrapper. Dip a finger into water and run it around edges. Fold wrapper in half on a diagonal and press edges tightly together to seal. Dip your finger into water again and dampen 2 bottom corners of wonton. Bring corners together and pinch to seal. Place on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers and filling. Cover and chill until ready to cook.
- Do Ahead: Wontons can be assembled 1 day ahead. Keep chilled, or freeze up to 1 month. Freeze in a single layer on baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to an airtight container. Cook from frozen, about 4 minutes.
- Sesame sauce and assembly:
- Whisk oil, sesame paste, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl to combine, then whisk in water, 1-tablespoonful at a time, until you can drizzle sauce easily but it's not watery. If using chili crisp, stir in 1-3 Tbsp., depending on how spicy you want your sauce; set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Working in batches of up to 10 at a time, boil wontons until wrappers are puckered and tightly wrapped around filling (filling should be cooked through; slice one open to double-check if unsure), about 3 minutes. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to a plate; let cool slightly.
- Divide wontons among bowls and spoon reserved sauce over; top with scallions and more chili crisp if desired.

Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Have a large pot of water at a boil.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and heat until shimmers. Once hot, add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant. Add ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon into small pieces. Cook the pork until it is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sugar and stir together. Whisk in the cornstarch. When pork is cooked through, add sauce mixture to pan and cook until liquid has been absorbed. Stir in sliced chiles and scallions.
- Season the pot of water with 1 tablespoon coarse salt. Separate the wonton skins so they do not stick together. Cut the wontons in thirds into wide, short noodles. Using your fingers, separate the wontons again. Sprinkle the wontons into the pot and stir. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until they rise to the top and are fully cooked. Drain well and add to the pan with the pork.
- Squeeze lime juice over dish. Serve and eat immediately.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh ginger and garlic. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
- If you don't have wonton wrappers, you can use egg roll wrappers instead. Just cut them into smaller squares.
- To make the wontons easier to fold, use a wonton wrapper mold or a small bowl.
- Be careful not to overcook the wontons. They should be cooked until they are just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include soy sauce, chili sauce, or rice vinegar.
Conclusion:
Ginger pork wontons are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
