Potstickers/Dumplings

Ingredients:

Packages of potsticker wraps
1 lb ground pork
1/2-1 head of napa cabbage, squeezed to drain out extra water
1 1/2 TBSP ginger, minced
3 TBSP green onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced (this is also just personal preference with how much you add)
salt to taste
2 TBSP soy sauce
2-3 TBSP sesame oil
2-3 TBSP water

Other options to include in the filling:
finely chopped carrots
cilantro
finely chopped celery
finely chopped jalapeno

Directions:

1. Mix all of the ingredients together for the filling
2. Place about a tablespoon of filling in the middle of a potsticker wrapper
3. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and close the edges together
       - traditionally if boiled (dumplings) you close the wrapper one way and if fried                 (potsitcker) you close the wrapper a different way, but it doesn't really matter.
4. For dumplings place into a pot of water, once it come to a boil add a cup of water. Repeat three times. Remove dumplings from water.
5. For potstickers heat oil up in a pan. Place potstickers in the pot for a minute or so to slightly brown the bottom. Add water to the pan so the potstickers are 1/3 or 1/2 covered by the water and put lid on the pan. Remove potstickers when water is gone.

Serve with soy sauce (plain or infused with garlic, jalapeno or both), sesame oil, chili oil, black vinegar, rice vinegar, hot sauce or any combination.
