Recipe: Jiao Z (Potstickers)

Appetizers and Snacks
JIAO Z (POTSTICKERS)

"These authentic Chinese morsels (pronounced "jouzit") are also known as potstickers."

FOR THE FILLING:
1/2 pound ground pork
8 ounces cooked spinach, squeezed dry
5 scallions, chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons freshly chopped garlic
2 to 3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
FOR THE POTSTICKERS
1 package won ton skins (4x4-inch squares)
1 egg white
FOR SERVING/DIPPING:
flavored soy sauces
sweet and sour sauce
hot mustard

Combine all ingredients for the filling. Spoon into won ton skins (about 1 teaspoon per wrapper). Fold on line to form triangles. Seal corners and edges with egg white. Bring outside corners up to meet and seal again with egg white.

TO BOIL
Boil for about 5 to 10 minutes. Dumplings will float, then sink and then usually float again. Do not undercook, as pork will not be done; do not overcook or dumplings will be too soft.

OR TO FRY:
As an alternative, heat wok with oil. Add dumplings and fry until golden.

TO SERVE:
Have flavored soy sauces, sweet and sour sauce and hot mustard available for dripping.

The boiled variety are also great in soup.

Makes 50 to 60
