PIEROGIES POT STICKERS WITH ORANGE-SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare dipping sauce; combine soy sauce, orange juice, rice wine vinegar, crystallized ginger, hot chili oil and minced garlic in a small mixing bowl; set aside.

• Chop remaining 2 of the green onions.
• In a large nonstick skillet over high heat, bring broth, 1/2 cup water, peanut oil or canola oil or butter, and ginger to a boil.
• Add pierogies in a single layer.
• Reduce heat to med-high.
• Cook uncovered, until all liquid is absorbed and pierogies begin to sizzle, about 10 minutes.
• Remove ginger.
• Add chopped green onions.
• Continue to cook, shaking pan often without turning peirogies, until golden and crisp on the bottom, 3-5 minutes, rearranging pierogies for even browning, but do not turn.

CHICKEN POT STICKERS WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the dough: 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.
• 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.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chicken broth, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, salt, scallions and a bunch of turns of pepper.
• 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.
• 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.
• For the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, scallion and red pepper.
• Serve the dumplings with the dipping sauce

PIEROGIES POT STICKERS WITH HERBS AND SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Cover the bottom of a skillet with softened butter. Arrange pierogies in the pan in a single layer. Add 1 cup water. Cover pan and place over medium-high heat. Cook, covered, 8 minutes.
• Remove lid and cook out any remaining liquid. Let the pierogies stick to the pan and brown in the butter as the liquid evaporates. (I find that this usually takes at least 5 minutes. Try to gently nudge a pierogi - if it doesn't move easily, then it's not done yet.) Remove crisp pierogies from heat and add chopped herbs and season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat and serve with sour cream on the side. Yum!
• NOTE: If you're using a smaller pan for this and must make two separate batches, I recommend that you wipe out the "old" butter and recoat with fresh butter before starting the second batch.

POT STICKERS WITH SPICY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the first six ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the first nine pot sticker ingredients. Add chicken; mix lightly but thoroughly. Place 1 tablespoon filling in center of each wrapper. (Cover remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.), Moisten wrapper edges with water. Fold wrapper over filling; seal edges, pleating the front side several times to form a pleated pouch. Stand pot stickers on a work surface to flatten bottoms; curve slightly to form crescent shapes, if desired., In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat. Arrange a third of the pot stickers in concentric circles in pan, flat side down; cook 1-2 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Carefully add 1/3 cup water (water may splatter); reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, 4-5 minutes or until water is almost absorbed and filling is cooked through., Cook, uncovered, until bottoms are crisp and water is completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining pot stickers. , Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Serve with sauce.

POT STICKERS WITH SWEET SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In small bowl, mix pork, onions and gingerroot.
• Working with 1 wonton skin at a time, place 1 heaping teaspoon pork mixture on center of each wonton skin. Moisten edges of wonton skin with water; fold in half over filling to form triangle and seal sides. Bring 2 ends together to form a "hat" shape (see photo). Place pot stickers on cookie sheet; cover with damp towel to keep from drying out.
• In Dutch oven, heat 3 quarts water to boiling. Add half of the pot stickers; boil about 5 minutes or until edges of wonton skins are clear. Using slotted spoon, remove pot stickers from water; drain thoroughly on paper towels. Repeat with remaining pot stickers.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix sauce ingredients until sugar is dissolved; set aside.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add half of the pot stickers; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp and golden brown on bottom. Turn; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until browned and crisp. Using pancake turner, remove pot stickers from oil; place on serving platter. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and remaining pot stickers. Serve warm with sauce.

PORK AND SHRIMP POT STICKERS WITH CHILE-SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all the filling ingredients in a large bowl. Take 1 teaspoon and bake or steam it, to taste for adjusting the seasoning. Set a large pot of lightly salted water over high heat, ready for boiling.
• To make the pot stickers, lay down about 4 gyoza or wonton wrappers and brush the edge halfway around with cornstarch mixed with a little water. Place about a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper and fold over into a half moon, being careful to keep filling away from the edge. Using your fingers, crimp to seal. As you become more adept, you can pleat one side against the other. Press each pot sticker onto the table to flatten the bottom, and place on a tray lightly dusted with cornstarch. Pot stickers can sit there until ready to cook.
• When all the pot stickers have been shaped, boil them in batches in the lightly salted water for about 2 minutes, until the dough is cooked through (it will become slightly translucent). Drain and cool until ready to fry.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Place pot stickers in the skillet in batches, to avoid crowding, and lower the heat. When they're golden brown and crispy on the bottom, carefully pour in a little hot water or broth to just cover the bottom of the pan. Watch out for steam! Cover the pan tightly and steam 3-4 minutes, until almost all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat, and repeat with the remaining dumplings. Serve with Chile-Soy Dipping Sauce.
• Chile-Soy Dipping Sauce
• Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
