Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine mirin, vinegar and soy sauce. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in basil; steep, covered, 2 minutes. Cool slightly; discard basil. Transfer sauce to a freezer container., For pot stickers, combine the first six ingredients in a large bowl. Add pork; mix lightly but thoroughly., Place about 1 tablespoon pork mixture in center of each wonton wrapper. (Cover wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Moisten wrapper edges with water. Fold one corner diagonally over filling and press edges to seal., Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets; freeze, covered, until firm. Transfer pot stickers to resealable plastic freezer bags; return to freezer., To use pot stickers: Thaw sauce in refrigerator overnight. In a large skillet, place a greased steamer basket over 1 in. of water. In batches, arrange frozen pot stickers in a single layer on basket; bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a low boil; steam, covered, 12-14 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in filling reads 160°. Remove pot stickers from steamer; repeat with remaining pot stickers, adding additional water as needed., In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. In batches, brown steamed pot stickers 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown, adding additional oil as needed. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, tofu, chives, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, egg, soy sauce, mirin, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, onion powder and cornstarch. Gently fold all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon until well blended.
• Place about 1 tablespoon of filling just off center on one side of a dumpling wrapper. Dab some water on the edges of the wrapper with your fingertip and fold the wrapper in half with the filling in the middle. Fold the corners up to the top of the potsticker and pinch the edges with your fingers to seal.
• To cook, heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place as many potstickers into the skillet as possible without crowding it. Cook until the bottoms are golden, about 3 minutes.
• Carefully pour in enough water to reach a third way up the potstickers and cook until the water is absorbed, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the potstickers and crisp up the other side for 2 minutes.
• Repeat with the remaining potstickers, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Serve with the dipping sauce of your choice and enjoy!

Steps:

• Place ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Top with chopped green cabbage. Mix with fork until thoroughly combined. Tamp down lightly; cover with plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour.
• Place flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in hot water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a shaggy dough. Flour your hands and transfer dough to a work surface. Knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If dough seems too sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour, about 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic, and let it rest about 30 minutes.
• When dough has rested, divide into 4 equal pieces. Cover 3 pieces with a dish cloth while you work the first piece. Roll into a small log about the thickness of a thumb, about 3/4 inch. Divide each log into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin 3 1/2-inch circle on a lightly floured surface to form the pot sticker wrappers. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
• Lightly moisten the edges of a wrapper with your wet finger. Place a small scoop of the ground pork mixture onto the center of a wrapper. Fold up the 2 sides and pinch together in the center. Pinch together the remaining edges, forming "pleats" along one side. Tap the pot sticker on the work surface to slightly flatten the bottom; form a slight curve in it so it stands upright in the pan. Transfer to a well-floured plate. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• Mix together seasoned rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl for the dipping sauce.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Place about 6 or 7 pot stickers in the hot oil, flat side down. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in water and quickly cover the pan; steam for 3 minutes. Uncover; reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until water evaporates and bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer to a warm serving dish. Repeat with remaining pot stickers. Serve with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Make dough:
• Put 1 3/4 cups flour in a large bowl, then add boiling-hot water, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. When just cool enough to handle, turn out dough (including any loose flour) onto a work surface and knead, incorporating some of remaining 1/4 cup flour if dough is sticky, until smooth, about 5 minutes.
• Form into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature at least 10 minutes and up to 30.
• Make filling while dough stands:
• Stir together beef, soy sauce, oils, ginger, and bean paste in a medium bowl, then stir in chives.
• Form and fry dumplings:
• Form dough into a log (24 inches long and about 1 inch wide), then cut dough crosswise into 24 (1-inch-wide) pieces. Put 6 pieces, cut sides down, on a lightly floured surface (keep remaining pieces loosely covered with plastic wrap) and flatten slightly with your hand. Roll out each flattened piece into a 3 1/4-inch round with lightly floured rolling pin. Put a level tablespoon of filling in center of each round, then brush or dab halfway around edge with a little water and fold in half, pressing edges together to seal and leaving a small opening at each end of semicircle. Stand each dumpling, sealed edge up, on a wax-paper-lined tray, then press dumplings slightly onto 1 side so more of dumpling touches tray. Make more dumplings in same manner.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot, then remove from heat and arrange dumplings in a tight circular pattern standing up in oil (they should touch one another). Cook, uncovered, over moderate heat until oil sizzles, then drizzle warm water (1/3 cup) over pot stickers and cook, covered, until bottoms are browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons more water if skillet looks dry before bottoms are browned.
• Remove lid and cook, shaking skillet to loosen pot stickers, until steam dissipates, 1 to 2 minutes. Invert a large plate with a rim over skillet. Using pot holders, hold plate and skillet together and invert skillet. Remove skillet and serve pot stickers warm.

Steps:

• Note: If the Wonton Wrappers are a large size (5x5 inch) then cut into 4 equal squares. For Cornstarch water add 1 cup water to 1/2 tablespoon Cornstarch.
• Heat the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, cabbage, vinegar, carrots, ginger and a pinch of Salt and Pepper and cook, stirring, until cabbage is soft, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Add the Tamari and the other 2 Tablespoons of Toasted Sesame Oil Mixture together with the Crumbled Tofu, making sure it is completely mixed together. Add The Tofu to the Cabbage Mix in the Pan and cook for another 3-4 min on Med. High. Then toss it altogether in a bowl with cilantro and allow it to cool (Mix Well).
• To make the potstickers lay a wonton wrapper flat and put about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center. Dip your finger in the Cornstarch water and wet the edges of the wonton wrapper; this will help the potstickers seal when cooking. Bring the outside edges of the wonton wrapper together at a point in the middle over the filling and pinch it together to form a pouch. Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• To cook the potstickers, heat the sunflower oil in a large Non-Stick skillet over high heat. Place all of the potstickers upright in the pan and cook, without disturbing them, until browned on the bottom, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan and immediately cover. Be careful it might splatter. Allow the potstickers to steam for about 3 minutes, and then remove the skillet lid. Continue cooking until the water is completely evaporated.

Steps:

• Combine meat, cabbage, ginger, garlic, scallion whites and 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl with 1/4 cup water. Lay a wrapper on a clean, dry surface, and using your finger or a brush, spread a bit of egg along half of its circumference. Place a rounded teaspoon of filling in center, fold over and seal by pinching edges together. (Do not overfill.) Place dumplings on a plate; if you want to wait a few hours before cooking, cover plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Or freeze, for up to two weeks.
• To cook, put about 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet and turn heat to medium-high. A minute later, add dumplings, one at a time; they can touch one another, but should still sit flat in one layer. Cook about 2 minutes, or until bottoms are lightly browned and most of the oil has been absorbed. Add 1/4 cup water per dozen dumplings to pan, and cover. Lower heat to medium, and let simmer about 3 minutes.
• To make the dipping sauce, combine remaining soy sauce, green parts of scallions and vinegar.
• Uncover dumplings, return heat to medium-high and cook another minute or two, until bottoms are dark brown and crisp and water evaporates. (Use more oil if necessary.) Serve hot, with sauce.
