Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra to dust

1/2 cup boiling water

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Chinese Dipping Sauce or a Thai sweet

chili sauce to serve

FOR THE FILLING

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 onion -- finely chopped

1 1-inch piece fresh ginger -- finely chopped

1 garlic clove -- crushed

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms -- chopped

1/3 cup dried black beans -- soaked overnight and cooked

3/4 cup bread crumbs

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

salt and freshly ground pepper

 

For the dough, place the flour in a large bowl. Gradually stir in the water

until most of it is incorporated; add more water if the dough is too dry. Knead

for 5 - 6 minutes, until smooth. Teturn the dough to the bowl, cover with

plastic wrap, and let rest in a cool place for 30 minutes.

 

For the filling, heat half the oil in a skillet and cook the onion, gingerm

garlic, and pepper flakes for 1 minute over medium heat. Raise the heat, add

the mushrooms and beans, and cook for 4 minutes. Add the bread crumbs and

cilantro, mix well, season, then let cool.

 

Knead the dough with a little more flour. Roll into ropes 8 inches long by 3/4

inch wide. Cut into 20 equal segments. Roll each one into 2 1/2 inch flat

rounds. Place on a lightly floured baking sheet.

 

Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each round of dough. Moisten

the edge with water and pinch together with your fingers to seal and form small

half-moonsHeat the remaining oil in a large nonstick pan until hot. Place the

potstickers in the pan in one layer and cook them over medium heat until they

are lightly browned on one side.

 

Add 2/3 cup water and the soy sauce and cover. Raise the heat a little and cook

for 10 - 12 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the potstickers are crisp

on one side.

 

Arrange the potstickers on a plate, crisp side up. Serve with the Chinese

dipping sauce or a Thai sweet chili sauce.

 

If you do not have the time to make the dough for this recipe, you can alwaya

buy a package of wonton wrappers measuring 3 inches square and use them instead.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
