Potstickers
List of Ingredients
2/3 pounds of ground pork
1 cup of Chinese cabbage- minced
2 Green onions-minced
1 egg
1 tablespoon of light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon Orange peel-grated
1/4 teaspoon Hot chili oil
Cornstarch
40 Wonton wrappers
1/2 cup peanut oil
1 cup water
Recipe
Combine pork, cabbage, onion, egg, soy sauce, orange peel, and hot chili oil in large bowl and mix well.
To assemble each potsticker: dust waxed or parchment paper with the cornstarch. Set 1 rounded teaspoon filling in center of won ton skin, pressing lightly so filling forms a narrow band across the middle. Moisten the rim of the wrapper with water for a good seal.
Bring opposite sides together to form a semicircle. Pinch together around the outer edge. Transfer to cornstarch dusted paper. Cover with a dry kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
Place 2 heavy 12 inch skillets over low heat. Add 1/4 cup oil to each. Arrange potstickers in skillets in rows, fitting closely together. Increase heat to medium-high and cook uncovered until bottoms are deeply golden, about 2 minutes, checking occasionally.
Add 1/2 cup of water to each pan and cover immediately. Let steam until wonton wrappers are translucent (as if you can see through the wrapper), about 3 minutes. Remove cover and continue cooking over medium to medium-high heat until bottoms are very crisp and well browned. Drain off excess oil if necessary. Loosen potstickers with a spatula and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately.
