TGI Friday's Pot Stickers

Dough
2 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup hot water
1 T. shortening or oil

Filling
1 lb. ground pork
2 T. soy sauce
1 T. sesame oil
1 tsp. grated ginger
Pinch of sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
3 green onions, chopped
1 egg
1 T. cornstarch
1 can water chestnuts, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced

Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tsp. chili oil
1 green onion, chopped

Combine the flour, salt, hot water and shortening in a bowl and
incorporate into a smooth dough. Allow the dough to rest for 20 minutes,
covered.
Combine the filling ingredients. Combine the dipping sauce ingredients.
Roll the dough out about 1/8 thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut
out 3 inch circles. Brush a little water over the circles and place about
2 teaspoons of filling in center. Fold the circles in half and press to
seal, making sure to squeeze out any air. Stand the dumplings up on the
folded side and press slightly so that they stand up nicely.
To cook, bring a pot of salted water to boil, and boil the dumplings until
cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain well. The dumplings may be frozen
at this point for future use; this recipe makes about 8 dozen. Heat a
skillet with about 2 tablespoons oil and fry the dumplings on one side
only, until nicely browned. Drain on paper towels. Serve with the dipping
sauce.
