• 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
• ½ teaspoon of salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Wrappers for potstickers. Knead the dough for about 20-25 minutes, or until it’s soft and pliable. In order to make the cylinders, divide the dough in half and roll each portion into one (about 1-inch in diameter). Set them aside after covering them with a moist towel.
2. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into quarter inch balls. Roll it to a diameter of about 3 inches using a rolling pin before cutting it out. Repeat this until all of the dough balls have been used. A packet of pre-made potsticker wrappers can be used if you want.)
3. Sauce for potstickers. Mix the ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Make sure everything is fully combined by giving it a good stir. Set aside.
4. Filling for Chinese Potstickers. Garnish with scallions and stir-fry with sesame oil and ginger before adding the wine and white pepper to the mixture. Make sure everything is fully combined by giving it a good stir. Set aside
5. In order to assemble the potstickers, spoon a little amount of the filling into the center of the wrapper before folding it over. When the skin’s edge is dry, dab it with a little water with your finger. Make five pleats in the potsticker after folding and folding it. Once you’ve utilized every last bit of an ingredient, just do it again!
6. To cook the potstickers, coat the pan with nonstick cooking oil and heat it to medium-high heat. Turn the heat up to medium. Cook the potstickers until crispy and golden brown on the bottom, then arrange the dumplings on top. Add the water and seal the pan with the lid as quickly as you can.
7. Cook the potstickers in a steamer until all the liquid has been absorbed. Pour out and serve the potstickers with dipping sauce while they’re still hot from the oven.

This recipe can be made with ground chicken instead of ground pork.
