Pork And Scallion Pot Stickers

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Swift Ground Pork
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce (Less-Sodium)
• 2 scallions (White And Green Parts, Finely Chopped, About 6 Tablespoons)
• 2 Tbsp ginger (Peeled And Minced)
• 2 cloves garlic (Minced)
• 14 oz Asian dumpling wrappers (Package, About 5 Dozen Wrappers*)
• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil (As Needed)

Directions:

1. For the dipping sauce, mix 1/2 cup soy sauce with 1 Tbsp scallions, 1 Tbsp ginger and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl; set aside.
2. For the filling, mix ground pork with remaining scallions, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp ginger and the rest of the minced garlic in a medium bowl.
3. Line a large baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper. For each dumpling, place a teaspoon of filling on the bottom half of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the bottom edge of the wrapper with water, fold in half, and press the open edges closed. Stand the pot stickers, with the closed edges up, on baking sheet.
4. Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. In batches, place pot stickers in the skillet, flat “bottoms” down. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 1 minute. Carefully pour in about 1 C water (it will boil up) and tightly cover. Boil for 3 minutes. Uncover and cook until water has evaporated and pot stickers are sizzling, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a heatproof serving platter and keep pot stickers warm in a preheated 200 degree oven, loosely covered with aluminum foil, while cooking remaining pot stickers. Wipe out the skillet between batches.
5. Pour dipping sauce into ramekins. Serve pot stickers with the sauce.
6. You can find dumpling wrappers in the ethnic or Asian section of most major supermarkets. There will be about 60 wrappers in the package.
