TGI Fridays Pot Stickers Recipe
Ingredients:
# **Dough***
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup hot water
1 tablespoon shortening or oil
# **Filling***
1 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 pinch sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
3 green onions, chopped
1 egg
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 can water chestnuts, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
# **Dipping Sauce***
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon chili oil
1 green onion, chopped
Directions:
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.
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.
