This is a Chinese version of the beloved pan-fried dumplings, with a crisp base and juicy center. It’s great for teaching the fundamental techniques of filling, wrapping, searing, steaming and then re-crisping.

Cantonese Potstickers Recipe courtesy of Jet Tila Level: Intermediate Total: 2 hr (includes chilling time) Active: 1 hr 15 min Yield: about 30 potstickers Ingredients Potstickers: 1 pound (454 grams) fatty ground pork 1 tablespoon (10 grams) chicken powder 1 tablespoon (8 grams) cornstarch 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) oyster sauce 1 tablespoon (8 grams) sesame oil 1 teaspoon (8 grams) finely minced ginger 1 teaspoon (2 grams) ground white pepper 2 scallions (37 grams), thinly sliced 1 clove (5 grams) garlic, finely minced 30 (190 grams) round, gyoza-style dumpling wrappers Neutral oil, for cooking Dipping Sauce: 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup sriracha 1/4 cup sugar Optional Crispy Skirt: 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar Directions For the potstickers: Combine the pork, chicken powder, cornstarch, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger, white pepper, scallions, garlic and 2 tablespoons water in a medium bowl. Knead for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture turns sticky and cohesive and clings to your spoon or chopsticks; it should look tacky and hold soft peaks. Chill for at least 30 minutes so it firms slightly for easier wrapping. For the dipping sauce: Combine the soy sauce, sriracha and sugar in a small bowl. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. To wrap the dumplings, place about 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Lightly wet the rim, fold into a half-moon, press out any air and pleat one side to seal (6 to 8 pleats; pleating one side pulls the dumpling into a crescent and creates a broad, flat base that stands upright). Heat 2 tablespoons of the neutral oil in a nonstick or carbon-steel skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Arrange 6 to 8 of the potstickers base-side down without crowding – you should hear a gentle sizzle on contact. Sear, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the bottoms are pale golden and set. Carefully add 1/2 to 3/4 cup (120 to 180 milliliters) water – the pan should bubble vigorously – then cover immediately and steam for 3 to 4 minutes, until the wrappers turn opaque at the edges and the filling feels springy when pressed. Uncover, add 2 tablespoons more neutral oil and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until all of the water evaporates and you hear a clear sizzle again. Repeat with the remaining potstickers. For the optional crispy skirt: To a liquid measuring cup, add the cornstarch, flour, vinegar and 1 cup water and whisk to combine into a slurry. Arrange 6 to 8 potstickers in a pinwheel shape in the same skillet. Add the slurry in a thin layer covering the bottom of the skillet and connecting the potstickers. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until a crisp golden brown pancake forms. Invert a plate over the skillet and flip so the crispy skirt is on the top. Serve the potstickers hot with the dipping sauce.
