PERFECT POTSTICKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Combine the first 11 ingredients in a medium-size mixing bowl (pork through cayenne). Set aside.
• To form the dumplings, remove 1 wonton wrapper from the package, covering the others with a damp cloth. Brush 2 of the edges of the wrapper lightly with water. Place 1/2 rounded teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold over, seal edges, and shape as desired. Set on a sheet pan and cover with a damp cloth. Repeat procedure until all of the filling is gone.
• Heat a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Brush with vegetable oil once hot. Add 8 to 10 potstickers at a time to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, without touching. Once the 2 minutes are up, gently add 1/3 cup chicken stock to the pan, turn the heat down to low, cover, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove wontons to a heatproof platter and place in the warm oven. Clean the pan in between batches by pouring in water and allowing the pan to deglaze. Repeat until all the wontons are cooked. Serve immediately.

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.

PORK POT STICKERS: GYOZA

Steps:

• Boil wonton skins in a large pot of water until al dente and drain well, Lay the wonton skins out on a waxed paper surface.
• Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F or as instructed by the manufacturer for similar foods.
• Heat the grape seed oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, add the pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook until it begins to brown, stirring often. Spoon off any excess fat from the pan and add the scallions, ginger, and soy sauce. Cook until flavors are well integrated. Remove from heat and let rest.
• Create a slurry in a small bowl by gradually whisking 2 tablespoons water into the cornstarch.
• Spoon 1 teaspoon of the cooked pork mixture onto each of the wontons. Fold each over to enclose and seal the edges shut with the cornstarch slurry.
• Add the filled wontons to the basket of a deep fryer in batches to keep them from being overcrowded and possibly sticking together. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
• Serve warm with soy sauce.

JAPANESE SHRIMP GYOZA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium-sized pot with boiling water, cook the whole cabbage leaves for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Drain well and let the cabbage cool off a little before squeezing out as much of the excess water as possible by pressing the cabbage leaves between your hands and pressing hard.
• Thinly chop the cabbage and place it in a medium-sized bowl. Reserve.
• Finely chop the clean shrimp into a paste-like texture.
• Add the shrimp into the cabbage bowl.
• Add the grated ginger and chopped green onion and mix all ingredients well.
• Add sake, salt, sesame oil, and katakuriko and mix well. You can knead the mixture with your hands too.
• Have at hand a small bowl with water. On a clean work surface, place a gyoza wrapper and add a small spoonful of filling, about 1 heaping teaspoon, in the middle of the wrapper.
• Dip your finger in the water and moisten all around the wrapper edges.
• Fold the wrapper in half to make a semicircle shape.
• Press tightly on the edges to close the gyoza. There shouldn't be any gaps as the filling can ooze out when the gyoza hits the pan.
• Repeat the process until all of the shrimp filling is used.
• In a large skillet over high heat, add enough canola oil to coat the bottom, 1 to 2 tablespoons.
• Place the prepared gyoza in the skillet and fry until the bottoms become brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan; if necessary work in batches, adding more oil as needed. Once the bottoms are golden, turn down the heat to low.
• Pour 1/4 cup of water in the skillet and cover. Steam the gyoza on low heat until the water is gone.
• Serve the gyoza with ponzu sauce on the side, the optional karashi, or an optional spicy ponzu with a pinch of shichimi togarashi on top.
• Enjoy!
