Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated finely
  • 0.25 cup onions, diced
  • 0.25 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 0.5 cup cabbage, grated
  • 0.5 cup carrot, grated
  • 0.25 tsp white pepper powder
  • 1 tsp Ching's All-in-one stir-fry sauce (substitute with soy sauce)
  • 1 stalk of spring onion, sliced finely
  • Salt to taste
For the dumpling dough
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour + more for rolling
  • 0.25 cup hot water
  • 0.25 tsp salt
To cook the potstickers
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 0.25 cup water

Method
 

Prepare the dough
  1. Combine the flour, salt and water to form a dough. Knead for 5 minutes until a smooth, soft dough is formed than springs back when touched.
  2. Place in a clean bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for about an hour.
Make the filling
  1. Heat oil in a pan and when warm, add the ginger and fry till fragrant and soft. Maintain the heat at medium-high.
  2. Add the onions and bell pepper and sauté until slightly cooked, but still has it's crunch.
  3. Add the cabbage and carrot and sauté, making sure any water that wilts off the vegetables evaporates quickly.
  4. Season with white pepper, salt and stir-fry sauce.
  5. Once the filling is dry (and not soggy with sauce), remove from heat and let cool completely. Stir in the spring onion.
Shape the dumplings
  1. Take the rested dough and fashion it into a long roll about 10-15 inches long by rolling it on a clean counter.
  2. Cut it into 8 equal pieces, and return to the bowl, keeping it covered at all times.
  3. Take one piece and roll it into a circle, with the ends thinner than the center.
  4. Place 2 tsp of filling in the center. Fold over and seal the center by pinching it close. Crimp up the sides and seal tight.
  5. Place on a baking tray lined with wax paper and dusted with flour. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Cooking the potstickers
  1. Heat oil in a pan and place the prepared dumplings, taking care to ensure they are not touching each other.
  2. Fry on medium heat until the bottoms turn golden brown.
  3. Pour water into the pan from the sides (not on the dumplings) - there will be splatter, so beware! - cover and let cook on medium-high heat for a minute until the tops turn translucent.
  4. If there is more water, uncover and let it evaporate off. Keep an eye to make sure the bottoms don't burn.
  5. Remove from heat and serve hot!
