    People worried about dying from under-cooked pork, listen up. First of all, these days, you have an incredibly tiny chance of getting sick from eating under-cooked pork. It's a proven fact that eating a salad is far more dangerous. So relax. I've actually eaten pork tataki, where just the outside was seared, and the inside was raw, and it was fine. Having said all that, the small portion (less than 1 ounce) we put in the dumpling is way past fully cooked after the frying, steaming (which is intensely hot), and the second frying. I'll never understand why people are so terrified of under-cooked pork. Ask someone who works in an emergency room the last time they had someone with a case of pork poisoning rushed in. They'll be like, what?

    Some tips:
    Add water to your ground pork first, mix until well mixed and bouncy. This makes the pork super tender. This tip came from my grandpa with a lifetime of experience.
    Add salt to your cabbage. Give it some time. Use cheesecloth or a tea towel, wrap some in there and squeeze the moisture out. It’ll make the cabbage more crunchy in your potstickers. Yum.
    When rolling out your dough to become wrappers, if you’re more advanced, don’t roll the middle. Leave a “pillow” so you can roll the outside thinner and it won’t break as easily. Don’t use the rollers with handles. Like Chef John said use a roller with circumference of a broom handle. You can find these at any Chinese grocery/kitchen stores.

    In Korea, the dipping sauce is made using vinegar, soy sauce and (white) sugar, with additional flavourings such as minced ginger, spring onions, white onions and chili depending on how spicy you like your food, and the mandu/potstickers have other ingredients in them like rice noodles and tofu to really give them body and to balance out the intense flavours of the sauce and/or filling. It's actually pretty interesting to see how the different EAsians make the same dish, because they each have their own twist to the flavours.

    This is a good recipe. Here are some other things my family adds to our filling:
    sugar (to balance the saltiness of the soy sauce)
    white pepper (to give the fillling a bit of a bite)
    rice wine (to both moisten the filling and give smoother flavor)
    cornstarch slurry (to give the filling a bouncier and more juicy mouthfeel).

    Man, I made these last night. And they were quite literally the best pot stickers I've ever had. And I've had some awesome pot stickers. Mine were no where near as pretty as chef John's. In fact, I made mine about twice the size. Although I thought I'd made the pastry lumpy, the 30-minute rest made it as smooth as silk and easy to work with. Gosh I can't say how delicious these were. Way better than any restaurant I've been to.

    Yummy! Thanks Chef John. I make Gyoza all the time, with pre-made wrappers as well as homemade like yours. For those worried about under cooked pork: I have boiled these dumplings (with homemade wrappers) until they float, then drain on a rack til slighly dry 15 minutes then you can pan fry to crispy. Personally I let the boiled dumplings cool then freeze in ziploc bag for frying later. I like the chewy texture it produces. I add water and potato starchor flour to meat mixture as well as an egg. I also blanch my cabbage or bean sprouts, squeeze excess water first. I hand stir in one direction until mixed well. Don't know why that works but I Saw that on a Japanese cooking show. It comes out very moist and delicious!

    I tried these for the second time. The first time I made the dough myself and could not get it thin enough. This time, I went with some commercial wonton wrappers and could not believe how well they turned out. They looked absolutely beautiful and just like what you would get handmade in a restaurant. What made them stand out, and made them worth the work, was the succulent filling. I used some lovely ground pork from my friends’ farm, and then followed the rest of the ingredients as per the amount of pork that I had. The proportions were perfect. I think the last time I had a little bit too much meat for the vegetables and seasoning. This time it was spot on. This recipe made enough for about 40 dumplings. I had a feast and then froze the rest uncooked to enjoy later.

    I love dumplings and I don't mind making the dough fresh by hand it's the folding and pinching I'm not happy doing so I cheated and purchased a dumpling maker with a rolling cutter and never looked back.
    Thank you chef John for all your patience folding and pinching.

    • @jaseth1337
      @jaseth1337 6 років тому +7

      Although pork is hard to beat for the filling, you can easily make them without meat.
      Shiitake mushrooms are my favourite vegetarian/vegan filling, but if you are into tofu, that works too. Actually, it's one of the only ways I enjoy eating tofu.

    One note though, We ended up with extra filling after making them so make extra dough, about 50% more.

    Hi Chef John, I've been watching your UA-cam channel for years now, but have never commented until now. My husband and children compelled me to write and thank you for this amazing recipe. We live in a small town near Barcelona and really miss the Chinese food we could get in the US. So, making these incredibly wonderful potstickers made my day. FYI, I used buttifara instead of ground pork...it's a little spicier in one batch. In the other, I used ground chicken and turkey mixture for my daughter and her boyfriend, as they do not eat red meat. Both potstickers came out better than PF Chang's in the US. So on behalf of my family many thanks to you for thus recipe. If you ever are inclined, we would love your recipe for "honey walnut prawns with garnish of honey dew melon." I am determined to make that too.
    One of your favorite fans, Terry

    Hey just a little suggestion: I have made potstickers for a few years and my recipe is identical to yours except for one thing: shaoxing wine. Add 1 tablespoon of shaoxing wine to your recipe and they'll be even better!!! I usually add a tiny bit of flour to make them silky smooth but it's optional.
    You sir are an amazing cook !!!!

    Hey chef john! This is such a great dumpling recipe, I'm actually going to adopt your dumpling folding method for when I teach my friends. My family does the filling with a bit of sweet bean paste (tianmian jiang) and yellow bean paste (huang jiang) and we dip with only Chinese black vinegar! You should try it out. It makes the dumpling filling more savoury and salty, therefore needing the extra acidity of the super sour vinegar.

  • @lesliejohnson2982

    Quick dough processing question - Would it matter if you rolled out a huge sheet of dough and cut circles out? Seems easier than rolling them all individually.

    • @scarlet.x
      @scarlet.x 4 роки тому

      Try flattening each small piece of dough a little bit then rotating the circle as you roll out the edges (its confusing) but it's more evenly flattened. The thing you mentioned might work, but the sheet of dough has to be very very very thin.

    When i make dumplings. I do roll whole dough at once and then cut circles with big glass. left overs i reroll and do it again, till very little left. What do you think Cheff John? And i do boil them! But i will try this method of cooking, looks very interesting! Thank you!

    • @funkiebutch9690
      @funkiebutch9690 6 років тому +2

      You can do that with the dough, but I think the main reason people cut it into small pieces before roll is to avoid the dough becomes dry and form outer layer skin. I guess you can just put it back in damp towel while filling the dumplings. You can always boil it but chef john wants to steam it to get the crust on the bottom.

    • @peterpawinski4914
      @peterpawinski4914 6 років тому +1

      I started doing these today using the "roll each little ball of dough" method out, but then just said, ah, screw this, and rolled a few big sheets out and cut them with a glass like I do when I've made pierogi. I really didn't see or taste any difference between rolling them out individually vs rolling them out in bulk and using a glass or cookie cutter. If anything, the glass-cut ones looked much better and were easier to deal with, as they were all uniformly sized circles.

FREE! isn't this the reason he took the time? his own personal time? likely after much effort to learn things we will not ever know in our lives to understand. thank you chef for your tolerance. a pity even food could stir so much discourse.
