Chicken And Lemon Pot Stickers With Soy Scallion Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour and salt in a large heatsafe bowl. Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring, until you have a coarse meal mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water to form a dough.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let sit for 20 minutes.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chicken broth, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, salt, scallions and a bunch of turns of pepper.
• To assemble the dumplings, divide the dough into 24 balls. Roll them out into 4-inch circles, flouring the surface as needed. Place 1 tablespoon filling in the center of each and fold in half to make a half-moon shape, pleating the edges to seal well.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Boil the dumplings in batches for 4 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon, allowing excess water to drip off, then transfer to the hot oil (be careful because this step can get spitty). Cook until the dumplings are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel and let cool slightly. Alternatively, to steam the dumplings, line a bamboo steamer with blanched cabbage and steam over boiling water until the filling is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, scallion and red pepper.
• Serve the dumplings with the dipping sauce

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the uncooked chicken, mushrooms, onion, hoisin sauce, mustard and chili sauce; cover and process until blended., Place 1 tablespoon chicken mixture in the center of 1 wrapper. (Until ready to use, keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.) Moisten entire edge with egg. Fold wrapper over filling to form a semicircle. Press edges firmly to seal, pleating the front side to form several folds., Holding sealed edges, place each dumpling on an even surface; press to flatten bottom. Curve ends to form a crescent shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling., Working in batches, arrange pot stickers in a single layer on a large greased steamer basket rack; place in a Dutch oven over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam until filling juices run clear, 5-7 minutes. Repeat with remaining pot stickers., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Serve with pot stickers. Refrigerate leftovers. Freeze option: Cover and freeze uncooked pot stickers in a single layer on waxed paper-lined sheets until firm. Transfer to freezer containers; return to freezer. To use, steam as directed until heated through and juices run clear.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. For potstickers, in large bowl, combine chicken, water chestnuts, green onions, carrot, gingerrott, egg white, mayonnaise, and garlic. Mix well.
• To assemble potstickers, place 12 wonton wrappers on a smooth surface. Lightly brush edges with water. Place a mounded scoop of filling into the center of each wonton. For each potsticker, fold one point over filling and overlap with opposite point. Repeat with remaining two points, folding envelope style. Place potstickers on oven-safe pan. Lightly spray with oil. Repeat with remaining wontons.
• Bake 12-15 minutes, or until potsticker edges are golden brown.
• For dipping sauce, place jelly in a small bowl. Microwave on high 30-40 seconds or until warm; add vinegar and soy sauce. Whisk until blended.

Steps:

• Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In small bowl, mix pork, onions and gingerroot.
• Working with 1 wonton skin at a time, place 1 heaping teaspoon pork mixture on center of each wonton skin. Moisten edges of wonton skin with water; fold in half over filling to form triangle and seal sides. Bring 2 ends together to form a "hat" shape (see photo). Place pot stickers on cookie sheet; cover with damp towel to keep from drying out.
• In Dutch oven, heat 3 quarts water to boiling. Add half of the pot stickers; boil about 5 minutes or until edges of wonton skins are clear. Using slotted spoon, remove pot stickers from water; drain thoroughly on paper towels. Repeat with remaining pot stickers.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix sauce ingredients until sugar is dissolved; set aside.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add half of the pot stickers; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp and golden brown on bottom. Turn; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until browned and crisp. Using pancake turner, remove pot stickers from oil; place on serving platter. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and remaining pot stickers. Serve warm with sauce.
