Pork Pot Stickers

Who doesn't love a good pot sticker? These delicious bites of heaven are suprisingly easy to make and are always a hit as a starter when we have friends over. Once you've seen how easy it is to make your own wonton wrappers you'll find yourself opening up Uber Eats far less often.
Time: 45 Minutes
Serves: 4-6
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
Wonton Wrappers
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Boiling Water
1/2 Tsp Salt
Filling
250g Pork Mince
3 Spring Onions (chopped)
2 Baby Bok Choi (chopped)
3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp Mirin
2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
3 Garlic Cloves
1 Tsp Ginger
1 Tsp Cornstarch
Dipping Sauce
50ml Soy Sauce
25ml Rice Vinegar
Splash of Sesame Oil
Chopped Spring Onions
1 Clove Garlic
1/2 Tsp Ginger
Method
Start by making the wrappers: mix all ingredients together until forming a sticky dough, flour a clean surface and kneed for 5 minutes. Rest for 30 minutes before rolling out (rolling pin/pasta machine) till thin enough to almost see through then cut rings ±8cm in diameter out and set aside to be filled. You should make ±16
For the filling mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Suggestion: fry a half teaspoon sized portion in a small pan so you can taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
To assemble the wontons place a teaspoon of the filling in the centre and then fold in half, there are a variety of ways to close the wrappers, for this recipe you can make a simple or pleated half moon. See other wrapper folding techniques here
Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil to the pan. Arrange the wontons in the pan so its not overcrowded, when they begin to brown at the bottom add 60ml water and cover the pan tight to allow steaming, once the water has all evaporated the pot stickers will be ready.
For the dressing combine all ingredients and serve as a dipping sauce along side the pot stickers
Happy Cooking!
