Ingredients:
Wonton Wrappers
1/2 pound Ground Pork
1 Egg, lightly beaten
Green Onions, chopped
Salt
Black Pepper
Worchestershire Sauce
Vegetable Oil
1 Can Chicken Broth
Hardware:
1 Stainless Steel Pan (I haven't tried Teflon, but I'm sure it won't kill you...immediately)
1 Lid for the Stainless Steel Pan
1/2 Tsp Measuring Spoon
1 Small Spoon
1 Spatula
1 Bowl (Large enough to combine ingredients)
1 Small Bowl
1 Cutting Board or Cookie Sheet
2 Plates (One to work on, the other to hold your finished stuff)
1 Paper Towel
Instructions:
1. In the Bowl, combine the Ground Pork, Egg, Green Onion, Salt, Black Pepper, and Worchestershire Sauce. Mix with your hands.
2. Open up the Wonton Wrappers and place them in a damp Paper Towel. Fill your Small Bowl with water.
Okay, now to assemble the panstickers
3. Lay one wonton wrapper on your plate. Dip 2 fingers into the Small Bowl filled with water and wet 2 edges that make a vertex.
4. Scoop 1/2 tsp of Pork Filling using your measuring spoon and place it in the center of your wrapper.
5. Fold the wrapper in neither a Hotdog nor Hamburger style, but in such a way that the wrapper makes a right triangle, with the 90 degree angle composed of the two wet edges. I made that sound a lot more complicated that it really is.
6. Make two folds or pleats on each leg of the right angle. They should turn out prettier than this:
7. Placed the finished product on your Cutting Board or Cookie Sheet. Don't stack them.
Lather, rise, repeat.
Okay, cooking time!
8. Over medium heat, lightly oil your Stainless Steel Pan and wait for the pan and oil to heat up.
9. Gently place a couple panstickers in your pan. Don't over crowd or stack them, give them a some room to breathe. I could fit only 5 or 6 in a batch. Cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Don't touch them.
10. After the 2 minutes, pour in a ladle's worth of chicken broth into the pan and cover the pan up with the lid as quickly as possible. Turn the heat down to a medium low and look cook, undisturbed for another 2 minutes.
11. Using the spatula, remove the panstickers and put them on a plate. You'll want to get them from their hypotenuse because you don't want to breaking the wrappers. Flip them cooked side for a prettier look. Serve plain or with red vinegar. Or soy sauce if you want to go to Chinese Hell.
