Gyōza / Potstickers / Dumplings. Pan-fried.

Ingredients (enough for about 40-50 potstickers):
half a pound of ground pork
half a pound of king prawns
2 small heads baby bok choy
4 stalks scallion
thumb sized piece of ginger
2 cloves of garlic
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh chile
2 packs of dumpling wrappers
oil for frying

First Prepare the filling. Chop the bok choy, mix with some salt in a bowl and set aside. After 20 minutes, rinse bok choy with water and squeeze dry. Chop/Mince prawns, spring onion, garlic, chile and ginger and mix with soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil in a big bowl. Best way to do it, is just kneading it with your hands. Take your dumpling wrappers and spoon about a tablespoon of filling on one of them. Fold and close, using a bit of water to make sure the wrappers are sticky enough. Repeat until you run out of wrappers or filling.

Heat oil in a non-stick pan on medium-high heat and fry the dumplings for about a minute. Pour half a cup of water in the pan and close lid immediately. Turn down heat to medium and when all water has evaporated (about 5 Minutes), open the lid and start moving the potstickers until they are browned from more than just one side.

Serve warm, with chili sauce.
