Directions for: Chicken Pot Stickers with Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed and for dusting

1 tsp salt

cup boiling water

Filling

1 lb(s) ground chicken

cup chicken broth

2 tsp sugar

2 tsp soy sauce

2 tsp rice vinegar

1 tsp freshly grated ginger

tsp salt

2 scallions, finely chopped

Freshly ground black pepper

Flavorless oil, for frying

Dipping Sauce

2 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp rice vinegar

2 tsp sesame oil

1 scallion, finely chopped

A pinch of crushed dried red pepper

Directions

Dough

1. Combine the flour and salt in a large heatsafe bowl. Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring, until you have a coarse meal mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water to form a dough.

2. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let sit for 20 minutes.

Filling

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chicken broth, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, salt, scallions and a bunch of turns of pepper.

2. To assemble the dumplings, divide the dough into 24 balls. Roll them out into 4-inch circles, flouring the surface as needed. Place 1 tablespoon filling in the center of each and fold in half to make a half-moon shape, pleating the edges to seal well.

3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Boil the dumplings in batches for 4 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon, allowing excess water to drip off, then transfer to the hot oil (be careful because this step can get spitty). Cook until the dumplings are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel and let cool slightly. Alternatively, to steam the dumplings, line a bamboo steamer with blanched cabbage and steam over boiling water until the filling is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.

Dipping Sauce

1. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, scallion and red pepper.

2. Serve the dumplings with the dipping sauce
