Steps:
- Make the hot water dough: In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, combine the flour, salt and two-thirds of the boiling water. Mix on medium speed while slowly adding the remaining water until well mixed and a ball is formed and the dough is not too hot to handle, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a little flour if it gets too wet.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough until it becomes a smooth, elastic ball. Place back in the bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rest for at least 1 hour.
- Make the dumpling wrappers: Working on a floured surface with floured hands, roll out the 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.
- Make the pork and ginger filling: Sprinkle the cabbage with the 1 teaspoon 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 the pork, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook a tester to check the seasoning.
- Make 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.) Lightly brush the top half edge with water and 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 7 to 10 folds per dumpling. Rest the dumplings with the folded edges straight up.
- Cook the dumplings: In a nonstick saute pan coated well with 1 tablespoon oil, place the pot stickers flat side down, turn the heat to medium-high and cook until the bottom is browned. Have pan cover ready, add 1/4 inch of stock to the bottom of the pan and 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. (Ideally, you add about 1/4 inch layer of liquid, depending on the size of the pan.) The trick here is that once the dumplings are firm and fully cooked the stock will evaporate and the bottoms will crisp-up again. You can listen to the point no stock is left, that is when you can take the lid off.
- Make the dim sum dipper: Combining all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Serve with the pot stickers.

Steps:
- First, prepare the filling. In large bowl, combine the ground pork meat with the prepared cabbage, ginger, carrot, green onion and garlic and mix well using a spoon. In separate, small bowl whisk together the egg, soy sauce and sesame oil. Add this sauce to the filling mixture and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Remove the wrappers from their packaging, then keep them covered with slightly damp towel, to keep them from drying out. Make one dumpling at a time - place approximately 1 teaspoon of pork filling into the middle of each wrapper. Moisten the edges very lightly with water using a pastry brush or your finger. Fold the wrapper in half and make 6 small pleats along the edge to seal the wrapper. Place the dumplings seam-side up on large baking sheet sprinkled with rice flour and keep the potstickers covered with damp towel. Press them down just slightly to flatten out bottom.
- To cook the potstickers: Preheat a large, flat skillet over medium heat with several tablespoons canola oil. Once the pan is hot, add the dumplings - arrange them seam side up in a tight circle so they are touching until pan is filled (it can take 2 to 3 batches to fry all dumplings). Fry on medium heat uncovered for 1 minute.
- Mix together the water and soy sauce (2 tbsp soy sauce and 1/4 cup water PER pan) and add to pan - tilt the pan to distribute water evenly. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Steam the dumplings for 4 minutes, then remove cover and let them fry until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Remove the pot stickers from the pan carefully and repeat with remaining dumplings.
- Serve the pork dumplings with soy sauce mixed with a dash of sesame oil and eel sauce or sweet chili sauce.

PERFECT POT STICKERS
Homemade pot stickers are so versatile--you can fill them with anything you want and as full as you want. And the play between the crispy, crusty bottom, and the tender parts, makes for a truly unique dumpling. These are filled with ground pork, green onions, ginger, and cabbage.

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.

Steps:
- In large bowl, toss together cabbage and 3/4 teaspoon salt and set aside for 30 minutes. Transfer to clean dish towel or cheesecloth, gather ends together, and twist to squeeze out as much water as possible. Wipe bowl clean, then return cabbage to it. Add pork, ginger, carrots, scallions, and garlic and stir to combine.
- In small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and egg, then stir into cabbage-pork mixture. Stir in pepper and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.
- On dry surface, lay out 1 gyoza wrapper, keeping remaining wrappers covered with dampened cloth or paper towel. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons filling into center, then moisten halfway around edge with wet finger. Fold moisture-free half of wrapper over moistened half to form open half-moon shape. To seal, using thumb and forefinger of one hand, form 6 tiny pleats along unmoistened edge of wrapper, pressing pleats against moistened border to enclose filling. Moistened border will stay smooth and will automatically curve in semicircle. Stand dumpling, seam-side up, on baking sheet and gently press to flatten bottom. Cover loosely with dampened cloth or paper towel. Form remaining dumplings in same manner.
- In 10-inch, lidded, non-stick skillet over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking, then remove from heat and arrange pot stickers in tight circular pattern standing up in oil (they should touch one another). Cook, uncovered, until bottoms are pale golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, tilting skillet to distribute, then cover tightly with lid and cook until liquid has evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are crisp and golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons more water if skillet looks dry before bottoms are browned. Remove lid and cook, shaking skillet to loosen pot stickers, until steam dissipates, 1 to 2 minutes. Invert large plate with rim over skillet. Using pot holders, hold plate and skillet together and invert skillet. Remove skillet and serve pot stickers warm.
PORK GYOZA (POT STICKER DUMPLINGS)
These fried, then steamed, dumplings are incredibly morish- I have eaten 12 and looked for more! The portion below makes about 45-50 dumplings. I normally freeze half of the mixture. It never stays in the freezer too long! If you have ginger oil, add it to the frying oil for extra flavour.

Steps:
- Mix the pork, spring onions, ginger, egg, chili sauce, soy sauce and seasame oil in a food processor. This is your dumpling filling.
- Wet the edges of the dumpling wrappers with water, put a dollop of filling in the center and press and fold the edges together to seal.
- Heat the vegetable oil for frying- you can also add a few drops of ginger and sesame oil to this for extra flavour. About 2 tablespoons in total is ample.
- Fry about 12 dumplings at a time in the oil, turning to brown. When they have been frying for about 2 minutes, add 0.5 cup of water to the pan and cook until the water is absorbed. I normally cover the pan for the first two minutes of this cooking time to ensure they are well steamed.
- Remove and served with the dipping sauce.
- For the sauce:.
- Combine the sauce ingredients and garnish with the chopped ginger.
Tips:
- For a crispier dumpling, pan-fry them until golden brown before steaming.
- If you don't have a steamer, you can boil the dumplings in a pot of water for 8-10 minutes.
- To make the dumplings ahead of time, freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to cook them, steam them from frozen for an extra 2-3 minutes.
- Serve the dumplings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, vinegar, or chili sauce.
