Guo Tie (Fried Pot Stickers)

1

In a large bowl, place nappa cabbage, green onion and salt and combine well. Set aside for 10 minutes.

2

In another large bowl, place ground pork, chicken stock, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, garlic, ginger and mix well.

3

With a clean hand, squeeze out water from the nappa cabbage and green onion mixture and add mixture to the pork mixture. Mix all ingredients well.

4

Prepare some water in a small bowl (not included in the ingredients list) and place next to pot sticker wraps and the mixture bowl. 

5

Place 1/2 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.

 

6

Dip your fingertip in water and wet all edges of the wrapper.

7

Fold the wrapper in half, forming a half circle, and pinch the center.

8

Make a few pleats toward the center, symmetrically. You can use other closing methods, such as making pleats left to right, making a mountain shape by squeezing with both thumbs or just seal the edges without any pleats. 
Make pot stickers quickly to prevent them from becoming wet.

9

Turn the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle temperature control dial to 350°F and preheat for about 5 minutes. When preheating completes, pour vegetable oil and place the pot stickers.

 

 

10

After about a minute, check the bottom of the pot stickers to see if they are golden brown, and then turn the temperature control dial to 300°F.

11

Pour 1/2 cup of hot water onto the griddle, then close the lid. (Be careful of oil/water splashing.) Continue to cook until all water evaporates, about 7 minutes, or until cooked through.

12

Turn the heat off the griddle and transfer cooked pot stickers to a serving plate.

13

In a small bowl, mix all dipping sauce ingredients and distribute to individual dipping dishes. Serve pot stickers while hot with dipping sauce.
