Oi!
So here is the project I relaxed with after renovating the apartment.
I am giving you a video that shows how to fold the wrappers but don’t use his recipe because he doesn’t have a personality and he is fat. Use mine…its better!
1 whole napa cabbage or 1 1/2 green regular cabbage.
You want to shred this in a food processor with a chainsaw…make sure its a McCulloch…then put it in a sieve with some salt to draw out the water.
Let sit about an hour, then push, squeeze, press the cabbage.
2 pounds ground pork.
1 1/2 tabs(that’s tablespoons, by the way) micro planned or grated fresh ginger.
6 or 41 cloves of garlic (likes my garlic) Mince the fuckers.
1/2 or 1 cup chopped green onions…you decide.
2 tablespoons miso paste, dark if you can find it but light if you can’t. If you can’t find miso paste, move to another state – now!
1 tab(see above for trans….that’s translation) sesame oil.
1 tab crushed red pepper flakes.
1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon brown sugar….its all dynamic…just go with it.
Some ground fresh pepper.
3 tabs(I know….just go with it) Soy sauce
3 tabs(oh fuck it) rice wine or dry white wine. Rice is better….just find it!
Dump all that shit in a big bowl and get your hands involved.
Stick in fridge overnight (fridge is short for refrigerator) covered with plastic wrap.
Remember…if the shit is cold, the pot stickers will fold.
Now to the video…

It’s really easy…I made a shitload of these in a drunken stupor listening to Counting Crows the other night. Just can’t find them now. Know I made them…maybe they will turn up when we find the bats that we lost in the house.
Oh….for dipping sauce….you HAVE to find Ponzu sauce. Look for it in the Asian section. If not, try soy with a little lemon juice but ponzu is just the best!
Freeze these fuckers and then to cook you must listen to me…don’t talk, don’t move, just listen!
Canola or vegetable oil in your frying pan. Put in potstickers, noncrimped, kinda flat side down.
Brown on 1(one)(won)(uno) side. Don’t turn!
When browned, then add in some water and steam for about 2 minutes.
Take out, put on plate, dip in sauce, fucking enjoy!
