Instructions
Potsticker Wrappers
- Mix the flour with water and knead it for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dough becomes soft. Separate the dough into two equal portions and roll them into cylinders (about 1-inch (2.5cm) in diameter). Cover them with a wet towel and set aside.
- To make the wrapper, cut the dough into 1/4-inch (5mm) length dough balls. Use a rolling pin to flatten it until it becomes a round wrapper, about 3 inch (7cm) in diameter. Repeat the same until all dough balls are used up. (You may use a pack of store-bought potsticker wrappers.)
Potsticker Sauce.
- Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
Potsticker Filling
- Combine the ground pork, Napa cabbage, scallions, white pepper, wine, sesame oil, salt and ginger together. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
To make potstickers
- Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Dab a little water with your finger and circle around the edge of the skin. Fold and pleat the potsticker, about 5 pleats. Repeat the same until all ingredients are used up.
To pan fry the potstickers
- Add vegetable oil to a frying pan, non-stick preferred. Turn on medium heat. Arrange the dumplings and pan fry the potstickers until the bottoms turn golden brown and become crispy. Add the water and cover the pan with its lid immediately.
- Steam and cook the potstickers until the water has evaporated. Turn the heat to low and cook the potstickers for a minute or so, dish out and serve hot with Potstickers dipping sauce.
