     Title: KUO-T'IEU (FRIED PORK DUMPLINGS)
Categories: Chinese, Meats
     Yield: 6 servings

     3 c  Flour, all-purpose
   2/3 c  Water; warm
   1/3 c  Water; cold
     1 lb Pork, ground
    10 oz Water chestnut; diced
     3 tb Soy sauce, mushroom flavor
     3 tb Oil, vegetable
     2 tb Sherry
     2 tb Cornstarch
     1 tb Scallion; chopped
     1 tb Gingerrott; chopped
     2 ts Salt
     2 tb Oil, sesame

   Add warm water to flour, mix with chopstick, then
 add cold water and knead it very well.  Stand for
 15-30 minutes, cover.
   Mix pork, green onion, ginger, waterchestnut, salt,
 sesame oil, soy sauce, wine and cornstarch.
   Place dough onto foured board and knead until
 smooth. Divide dough into 40-50 pieces.  Flatten each
 piece with hand and roll into 2-3" round thin
 pancakes. Put 1 to 2 teaspoons of filling in center
 then fold over to make a half moon and pinch edges
 together.
   Heat a flat pan until hot, add 2 tablespoons oil.
   Put enough dumplings to cover the bottom of pan
 without overlapping. Fry 2 minutes or until bottom is
 golden. Add 2/3 cup cold water, cover and cook until
 water has evaporated. Add 1 Tablespoon oil to side of
 pan and fry another minute and serve immediately. (I
 use a 12 inch cast iron skillet for this and use more
 than the 2 tablespoons oil mentioned above; I also use
 more than the 1 T oil at the end. Swirl the oil around
 the pan when you add it at the end...this helps
 removal of the pot stickers!)
   For a dipping sauce, I use soy sauce, sesame oil,
 chopped ginger, and chopped scallions.
   My friends have told me that they have not had
 better dumplings than these in any restaurant. Try
 this and let me know what you think! Posted on Genie
