POTSTICKERS (CHINESE DUMPLINGS)

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in the work bowl of a food processor, and process until the shrimp are finely ground. Set aside in a large bowl. Working in batches, process the ground beef to a fine grind, and set aside with the shrimp. Combine the shrimp and ground beef with ginger, shallot, green onions, napa cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper, and white sugar, and mix the ingredients until thoroughly combined.
• To fill the pot stickers, place a wrapper on a work surface in front of you, and place a scant teaspoon of filling in the center. With a wet finger, dampen the edges of the wrapper. Fold the dough into a half-moon shape, enclosing the filling, and press and seal to remove extra air and tightly seal the edges together. It's nice to fold several small pleats in the top half of the wrapper for a traditional look before you seal in the filling. Refrigerate the filled wrappers on a parchment-lined baking sheet while you finish filling and sealing the pot stickers.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet with a lid over medium heat. Place pot stickers into the hot oil, flat sides down, without crowding, and let fry until the bottoms are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the dumplings over, and pour the water over them. Cover the pan with a lid and let the dumplings steam until the water has nearly evaporated and the dumplings have begun to fry in oil again, 5 to 7 minutes. Uncover the skillet, and let the pot stickers cook until all the water is evaporated and the wrapper has shrunk down tightly onto the filling, another 2 to 3 minutes.

JAPANESE SHRIMP GYOZA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium-sized pot with boiling water, cook the whole cabbage leaves for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Drain well and let the cabbage cool off a little before squeezing out as much of the excess water as possible by pressing the cabbage leaves between your hands and pressing hard.
• Thinly chop the cabbage and place it in a medium-sized bowl. Reserve.
• Finely chop the clean shrimp into a paste-like texture.
• Add the shrimp into the cabbage bowl.
• Add the grated ginger and chopped green onion and mix all ingredients well.
• Add sake, salt, sesame oil, and katakuriko and mix well. You can knead the mixture with your hands too.
• Have at hand a small bowl with water. On a clean work surface, place a gyoza wrapper and add a small spoonful of filling, about 1 heaping teaspoon, in the middle of the wrapper.
• Dip your finger in the water and moisten all around the wrapper edges.
• Fold the wrapper in half to make a semicircle shape.
• Press tightly on the edges to close the gyoza. There shouldn't be any gaps as the filling can ooze out when the gyoza hits the pan.
• Repeat the process until all of the shrimp filling is used.
• In a large skillet over high heat, add enough canola oil to coat the bottom, 1 to 2 tablespoons.
• Place the prepared gyoza in the skillet and fry until the bottoms become brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan; if necessary work in batches, adding more oil as needed. Once the bottoms are golden, turn down the heat to low.
• Pour 1/4 cup of water in the skillet and cover. Steam the gyoza on low heat until the water is gone.
• Serve the gyoza with ponzu sauce on the side, the optional karashi, or an optional spicy ponzu with a pinch of shichimi togarashi on top.

EASY SHRIMP POTSTICKERS

Steps:

• Potstickers: In a food processor, add the shrimp, garlic, scallions, soy sauce and egg. Pulse until combined but still chunky. Remove the mixture to a bowl. To assemble the potstickers, put about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the rim of the wrapper with water. Fold the dough until the ends meet and press the air out of the center towards the edges. Seal by pressing firmly. This is the simplest way.
• To make the classic pleated look: using your thumb and index finger, pinch the corner of the unsealed wonton closed. Using your other hand pull a bit of the unsealed wonton edge toward the pinched corner and pinch to make a slight pleat in the wrapper, continue to pull the loose wrapper in and pleating until you run out of space, then push the air out through the final opening and pinch together. Repeat for the rest of the wontons. You can freeze them at this point on a baking sheet first, and then transfer to a freezer bag.
• Dipping sauce: Stir all the ingredients together in a small serving bowl.
• When ready to cook the potstickers, add oil to a large saute pan. When oil begins to swirl, add potstickers to the pan and cook until golden brown on 1 side. Flip and add 3 ice cubes. Immediately cover the pan to let the potstickers steam and cook through, about 3 minutes. Remove to a large platter and serve with dipping sauce.

SHRIMP AND VEGETABLE POTSTICKERS

Steps:

• In large skillet or a wok heat the vegetable oil until hot. Add the shrimp, onion, carrot, cabbage and mushrooms and quickly stir fry while combining the ingredients. Add the pepper flakes, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar, adjust the seasoning and pour out onto a cookie sheet to cool. When the mixture is cool, begin making the potstickers. Lay out one wonton, brush the edge with water and put 1 teaspoon of the filling into the middle of the wonton. Fold the edge over on the diagonal to form a packet. Trim the edges to eliminate any square corners. Dust the finished potstickers with a light coating of cornstarch to prevent sticking before cooking. Potstickers may be frozen at this point.
• Using a bamboo steamer over a wok or pot, heat 1 cup of water to a boil. Place the potstickers in the oiled steamer basket and steam them until the dough becomes translucent, about 3 minutes. Remove from the basket and proceed to the skillet cooking process.
• Heat a non-stick skillet with 3 tablespoons vegetable oil. When the pan is hot, add enough potstickers to cover the bottom of the pan, but do not crowd them. Cook both sides until well browned and crisp. Continue in this manner until all of the potstickers are cooked. Keep them warm in a low oven while finishing the last batches. Serve with sweet mustard dip.
• Sweet mustard dip:
• Combine water, honey, vinegar, soy and mustard in a saucepan over low heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from the heat, let cool for several minutes until just warm and serve with potstickers.

GINGER SHRIMP POTSTICKERS

Steps:

• To prepare potstickers, combine first 10 filling ingredients in a food processor; pulse 4-5 times or until coarsely chopped.
• Working with a few wonton wrappers at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to prevent drying), spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons shrimp mixture into center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of dough with water; bring 2 opposite corners to center, pinching points to seal. Bring remaining 2 corners to center, pinching points to seal. Pinch 4 edges together to seal. Place potstickers on a large baking sheet sprinkled with cornstarch.
• Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 12 potstickers to pan; cook 2 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Shake the pan occasionally to prevent sticking. Carefully add 1/2 cup water to pan; cover and cook 4 minutes. Uncover and cook 3 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Repeat steps until all are cooked.
• To prepare sauce, combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Serve sauce with potstickers.

SHRIMP SCAMPI POTSTICKERS

Steps:

• Dumplings:.
• Take the peeled, deveined shrimp and roughly chop half of them then add to a medium bowl. Finely chop the rest of the shrimp and add to the bowl too.
• Add the white wine, lemon juice, chopped parsley, olive oil, cornstarch, garlic, salt, pepper and parmesan to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
• Take one dumpling wrapper and hold it in the palm of one hand. Scoop a scant tablespoon of the shrimp mixture up, placing it in the centre of the wrapper.
• Using your free hand, dip your fingertip into a small bowl of cold water. Use the wet fingertip to wet the edge of the dumpling wrapper all the way around. Fold the wrapper in half and crimp the edge of one side while pinching both edges together to seal the dumpling shut (see video for the technique used).
• Repeat with all the filling to make your dumplings.
• Place a large, non-stick skillet over a medium heat. Pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let that heat up. Once hot, turn the heat down to medium-low and arrange 10 to 15 dumplings in the skillet.
• Cook until the undersides are golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Then pour in enough water to come 1/3 of the way up the dumplings. Cover with a lid, turn the heat down to low, and let steam for 5 to 6 minutes, until the water has been completely absorbed.
• Remove from the skillet and repeat with the rest of the dumplings to cook them all.
• For the sauce:.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet or pot over a medium-low heat. Once melted, stir in the garlic and let cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season with the black pepper.
