Potstickers




INGREDIENTS:
Dough for potstickers
1lb ground pork
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 small bok choy, chopped
1 carrot
2 tbsp minced ginger
cilantro
green onions
hot chili sauce
salt
oil

Sauce:
soy sauce
vinegar


Cut up garlic, carrot, bok choy and sauté in oil. Add meat and stir until completely cooked. Ad salt and chili paste. Turn off the stove burner and then add chopped green onions and cilantro.


Place about 1 spoon of filling per dumpling. Use water to seal the edges. Press with fingers and set aside. Repeat this process for each dumpling. This is a tedious job as you have to make them one by one, and it takes a while. It is a good idea to have a "dumpling party" and have your friends over to make a large batch. It will go fasted with more people, and it will also give you an opportunity to bond and tell each other how your day went. Then you can freeze them uncooked and use them later.


Fry in hot oil on both sides.


You can also try a healthier option and steam then or cook them in water.

Serve with the sauce you prepared by mixing soy sauce and vinegar in equal proportions.
