PORK POTSTICKERS w/Dipping Sauce
makes 24

Wonton wrappers - can be round or square folded as a triangle
3/4 lb. ground pork
2 egg whites
2 cups finely chopped nappa cabbage
4 TBS. minced scallions - white & green
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, grated
3 TBS. Soy Sauce
1/2 cup of water


Chop cabbage and set in strainer over a bowl. Sprinkle salt over cabbage and toss. Let drain 30 minutes while preparing rest of filling.
Pl ace meat, soy sauce, pepper, garlic, ginger, scallions, egg whites and strained cabbage in a large bowl. blend well with hands but don't overwork.
Cover bowl and let chill in fridge for 30 minutes.
Lay 6 wrappers at a time on parchment paper, keeping other wrappers covered. (they dryout fast)
Place a level tsp of filling in the center of the wrapper.
Slightly wet edge of each wrapper with water, then fold in half.
Work wrappers shut working from the middle out, to remove air bubbles and seal edges by "pinching" all around edges.
Set aside on another piece of parchment til all are done.
(Depending on how full you fill them, you may have more filling than for 24)
Put 2 tsp. of vegetable oil in a non-stick fry pan. Heat on medium high.
Place a dozen "stickers" in the pan, flat side down.
Cook about 5 minutes until that side is crisp and browned.
Remove and repeat oil and browning with the second batch.
Turn heat to low. Put all "stickers in the pan.
Add 1/2 cup of water and cover pan with lid. Cook about 10 minutes until water is absorbed and wrappers are translucent.
Take off lid, turn heat on high to re-crisp bottoms - about 3 minutes. (Note-some of the moisture will come back out of them
which is what's supposed to happen.)
Remove and drain.
Serve with Dipping Sauce

DIPPING SAUCE

1/2 tsp. Sesame Oil
2 TBS. scallion (white and green) finely sliced.

Add the above in small boil, whisk and serve.



 
Not a pain. Too easy.

I have a simplified recipe, forgive the measurements:

About equal parts ground pork to shredded napa cabbage (maybe a little bit more pork)

soy sauce, pepper, minced chile, grated ginger, touch of toasted sesame oil and chopped green onion. Combine and fill the wontons with about 1 tablespoon of the filling.
Sautee in a skillet with canola until GB&D.

My 3 sauces are: equal parts soy/terriyaki with scallion; sriracha; and equal parts hoisin/rice wine vinegar.
 
My sauces are very basic so you may want to look around a bit. I usually get home around 6 so I need to come up with fast entrees.
 
No, Sattie. Do your cabbage and set aside while you do the filling, which is just acouple of mins. once you've prepped everything.
Filling is just a couple minutes. And cooking is a do, wait, do, wait.
Maybe 30-40 minutes?
 
I put a batch in a pan and let them cook while I'm preparing the next batch.

I'm lucky if any MAKE IT to the table because the DW keeps picking at them!
 
Another thing you have to understand sattie.
I live alone. Have for oh, 13+ yrs?
Cooking something like this is for when I have company,
so it's sort of an occasion, occasional thing.
I don't suffer the drudgery of having to concoct a dinner
every night.
I can eat or not, when or what at any time.
I love to cook, but often I don't attempt many, many
things I see that appeal to me. The end volumn of each recipe
would just kill me, aside from going broke. LOL!
