Yield 100 to 120 pot stickers

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/4 cup garlic cloves
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/4 cup dried fruits, such as apricots, cherries, or raisins
1/2 bunch cilantro leaves, minced
1/2 bunch green onions, minced
Salt and pepper
Pinch sugar
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1 tablespoon chile paste
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 pounds pork butt, cubed
Round wonton wrappers
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Peanut oil, for frying
Dipping sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1 cup sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced scallions or green onions
Large pinch sugar

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine garlic and ginger. Turn on machine and slowly pour the peanut oil and process to a puree. Transfer to a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Stir together and marinate for 1 hour. Pass mixture through medium dye in the meat grinder. Transfer to an electric standing mixer and using the paddle, on slow speed, mix until emulsified.
  • Make the pot stickers. Separate the wonton wrappers and brush edges with egg wash. Place a generous spoonful of the filling and seal the edges, making small folds in the rounded side, starting from the center, and folding down to each end to create a half moon shape. Continue until you have used up the filling. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Cook pot stickers in small batches in boiling, salted water. Drain. Heat a non-stick saute pan with peanut oil and sear until golden on the bottom. Remove and serve with dipping sauce.
  • Combine all ingredients and whisk together. Serve as dipping sauce for pot stickers.
  • Yield: approximately 1 1/2 cups dipping sauce
