Kuo-t’ieu (fried Pork Dumplings)

We should not assume that, because God promises to provide a way out of temptation, we have no role in our own rescue. God always provides a way of escape, but He may also require great effort from us. We take advantage of the way of escape God provides by exerting every resource He gives us to fight the enemy… To increase our faith and strengthen our character, God more often allows us to escape temptation by using the means of grace always available to us: conscientiously seeking God’s power and instruction through prayer, meditation on His Word, and the counsel of mature Christians are never passive endeavors.

3	c	Flour, all-purpose
2/3	c	Water, warm
1/3	c	Water, cold
1	lb	Pork, ground
10	oz	Water chestnut, diced
3	T	Soy sauce, mushroom flavor

2	T	Cornstarch
1	T	Scallion, chopped
1	T	Gingerrott, chopped
2	t	Salt
2	T	Oil, sesame

INSTRUCTIONS

Add warm water to flour, mix with chopstick, then add cold water and
knead it very well.  Stand for 15-30 minutes, cover. Mix pork, green
onion, ginger, waterchestnut, salt, sesame oil, soy sauce, wine and
cornstarch. Place dough onto foured board and knead until smooth.
Divide dough into 40-50 pieces.  Flatten each piece with hand and  roll
into 2-3" round thin pancakes. Put 1 to 2 teaspoons of filling  in
center then fold over to make a half moon and pinch edges  together.
Heat a flat pan until hot, add 2 tablespoons oil. Put  enough dumplings
to cover the bottom of pan without overlapping. Fry  2 minutes or until
bottom is golden. Add 2/3 cup cold water, cover  and cook until water
has evaporated. Add 1 Tablespoon oil to side of  pan and fry another
minute and serve immediately. (I use a 12 inch  cast iron skillet for
this and use more than the 2 tablespoons oil  mentioned above; I also
use more than the 1 T oil at the end. Swirl  the oil around the pan
when you add it at the end...this helps  removal of the pot stickers!)
For a dipping sauce, I use soy sauce,  sesame oil, chopped ginger, and
chopped scallions. My friends have  told me that they have not had
better dumplings than these in any  restaurant. Try this and let me
know what you think! Posted on Genie  by DSCHWARTZ [DAVE] "I got the
