Recipe - Chinese Pot Stickers

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• One 10 ounce package frozen spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
• 2-3 scallions, finely chopped
• 1-pound ground pork
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 egg
• 1-teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/4-teaspoon Asian chili sauce
• 1 package of Wonton skins
• Peanut or vegetable oil
• Pot sticker press (optional, available in many grocery stores)

LET'S GET STARTED:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the spinach, scallions, pork, ginger, orange zest, egg, soy sauce and chili sauce and mix thoroughly.
2. Trim the wonton skin corners and place in pot sticker press one at a time. Add a scant tablespoon of filling to the center of each wonton; moisten the edges with water and squeeze press to seal edges.   (If you don't have a press, fold wonton skin in half diagonally by hand to form a triangle).
3. Place dumpling upright on counter and press slightly to create a flat bottom.   
4. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in frying pan and place several of the dumplings upright in oil.    Cook over high heat until the bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes.
5. Add 1/4 cup of water, cover and reduce heat to medium and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Repeat with remaining pot stickers and serve with soy sauce or goyza sauce (recipe follows).
