30                    Pot sticker wrappers, round and thin

.

6 oz                 Ground pork

1tsp                 Finely chopped fresh ginger

1/2Tbs             Rice wine or dry sherry

1/2Tbs             Dark soy sauce

1/2 tsp             Light soy sauce

1/2 tsp             Salt

1/4 tsp             Freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2Tbs          Finely chopped green onions

1 tsp                Sesame oil

1/2 tsp             Sugar

.

For the cooking:

1 Tbs               Canola oil

½ Cup             Chicken stock

1Tbs                Soy sauce

.

Method:

Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix them together until fully incorporated.

.

Wrapping:

Place about 2 tsp of the filling in the center wrapper.  Put a thin coat of water on the edges then fold the dough in half and pinch together with your fingers. Pleat around the edge, pinching to seal well. Place the finished dumpling on a ½ sheet pan with parchment paper.  Keep it covered or freeze until ready to use. In a large sauté pan add 1 T of oil and heat until it smokes.  Place the dumplings flat side down into the pan. Lower the heat and cook for approximately 1 minute or until they are lightly browned. Add the chicken stock and the soy sauce, cover the pan tightly and simmer gently for about 8 minutes. Chefs note: do not let this dry out, add more stock if needed.  Uncover the pan and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes. Serve.
