Pot Stickers in chinese style



In Estonian

This is recipe for nice Pot Stickers. It will take more time for make these, but result is definitely worth it.
For filling I used pork minced meat, iceberg lettuce, ginger, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar and roasted sesame seed oil. This combination gives a nice and a little spicy taste. Altogether with thin and crispy pastry and dip sauce it makes a good and tasty bite.

Dough ingredients:
285 g wheat flour
150 ml hot boiling water
1 tsp salt

Mix flour with salt and add boiling water. Knead it into even dough. It takes about 5 minutes. Wrap ready dough into food film and let it stay (rest) for 20 minutes.
Filling ingredients:
250 g pork minced meat
150 g iceberg lettuce (cut into thin strips)
1 tbsp of sesame seed oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
4 cm piece of ginger (shredded)
4 garlic gloves (crushed)

Mix all filling ingredients.

Making of Pot Stickers
Roll dough thin as possible. I used pasta machine for this and made the dough as thin as possible. Cut from the rolled dough rings with diameter 6-7 cm. I used glass with sharp edges  for cutting.
Put in the middle of the ring ca 0,5 tsp of filling. Make the edges of rings wet with finger and fold the ring into half moon shape. Fold the edges of Pot Sticker so that you will get nice and small folds in the edges (like making skirt folds). Put Pot Sticker to the plate so that the  folded edges will be in the upper side, if needed arrange the Pot Sticker shape more even..

For frying Pot Stickers you need to heat vegetable oil in the pan and fry Pot stickers on high heat from one side for about 2 minutes or until these are nice and golden brown. Add a little hot boiling water to the pan and cover pan with lid. Lower the heat and let the Pot Stickers boil under the lid for about 3-4 minutes. Remove the lid and let the water evaporate completely.

Serve right away with dip sauce.

Dip sauce ingredients:
4 tbsp of soy sauce 
2 tbsp rice vinegar
0,5 chili pod
1 garlic glove
1 tsp vegetable oil
Mix all dips sauce ingredients.
