When I went to cooking camp over the summer, and I learned a lot of recipes. This week, I will be showing you how to make Pot stickers. Yummy!

Pot Stickers
Prep Time: 2 hours
How many we should make: 3-4 dozen

Ingredients
1/2 head of Napa cabbage

1 lb. ground pork....... or tofu

1/2 green onion......... minced
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro..minced
1 knob fresh ginger... 1-inch piece minced
1 Tbsp. fresh chives... minced
1 Tbsp. rice wine... or dry sherry
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper, black
1 clove garlic... minced
12 oz. package of wonton skins(round)
1/4 C. vegetable oil
1 C. chicken stock

DIPPING SAUCE
1/4 C. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tsp. ginger, fresh... minced
1/4 tsp. chili oil
1 clove garlic... minced

STEPS FOR POT STICKERS
1) Prep all ingredients. Combine pork/tofu, cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, cilantro, ginger, chives, rice wine, sesame oil, brown sugar, salt, pepper and garlic. Work with your hands until completely mixed. Heat a frying pan and fry a Tablespoon of mix to check seasoning. Adjust as necessary.
2) Cover the wonton skins with a damp bowl. Place one wonton skin on work surface. Place about 1 Tablespoon of filling into the center of each wonton skin and fold into a half -moon shaped pouch. Make 3 or 4 pleats at the edge to gather the dough around the filling, and line dumplings on parchment covered sheet pan. Use all of the wonton skins.
3) Heat a large frying pan with a tight-fitting lid over the medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the dumplings to the pan and fry them on one side( usually the edge that is pleated up) until browned, about 2 minutes. Shake the pan to keep them from sticking as they cook.Add the chicken stock to the pan and cover tightly so that the pot stickers steam and cook through. Cook about 5 minutes, or until all the liquid has evaporated from the pan.

STEPS FOR DIPPING SAUCE
1) Combine ingredients in a small bowl and let sit at least 5 minutes until the flavors blend.
