  8                    Leaves of Napa cabbage,
                       -finely chopped
    3/4   lb           Ground pork
  2                    Scallions, white only
                       -minced, or dried green
                       -onions
  1       T            Parsley
    1/2   t            Salt
    1/4   t            Pepper
    1/4   t            Sugar
  2       T            Cornstarch
  1       T            Paul Mason Raspberry Cream
                       -Sherry (you can sub a dry
                       -sherry but I prefer this)
  1       T            Light soy sauce
  1       pk           Gyoza or potsticker
                       -wrappers (round ones)
  5                    Chicken bouillon cubes
  2       sl           Fresh peeled ginger,
                       -finely minced
                       Peanut oil

 Boil 5 cups of water and add 5 chicken bouillon cubes.  Mix until
 fully dissolved.  Combine pork, cabbage, onions, ginger, parsley,
 salt, pepper, sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and sherry.  Place a
 spoonful of filling in center of wrapper and brush 180 degrees of
 wrapper lightly with water and close potsticker.  Press firmly or use
 your fingers to pinch edges together.
 Add 1/2 tablespoon peanut oil to non-stick skillet over medium heat.
 Arrange gyoza in pan just barely touching each other.  Brown on one
 side only until it forms a golden brown crust.  Add 1/2 cup chicken
 stock and bring to a boil.  Cover; reduce to a slow boil and steam
 for 8 minutes. Remove the cover and cook over medium heat until all
 the liquid is absorbed and fully cooked.  Repeat the steps until all
 the gyozas are cooked.
