Ingredients

• ✓ white sugar
• shortening
• glutinous rice flour
• baking powder
• water
• sesame seed
• lotus paste
• vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1 Combine sugar and shortening in a bowl to make a paste. Add rice flour, baking powder, and ice water and mix everything into a dough ball. Wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Remove dough from fridge and separate into 6 equal portions. Roll into balls and flatten the balls into thin disks. Portion lotus paste into 6 equal parts and roll into small balls. Set a lotus paste ball in the center of the flattened dough disks and wrap dough around the lotus paste. Roll between the palms of your hands until all the seams are gone and no lotus paste is showing.
3. 3 Pour sesame seeds onto a saucer and roll finished balls in the sesame seeds. Roll balls between your palms one more time to make sure sesame seeds stick.
4. 4 Pour oil into a pot and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drop balls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil
5. 5 Serve - be careful! The lotus paste inside the balls will be very hot.

Ingredients

• ✓ white sugar
• all-purpose flour
• water
• active dry yeast
• sugar
• vegetable oil
• salt
• baking powder

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Mix together 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a large bowl. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
3. 3 Mix in remaining 1 ½ cups flour, remaining 1/2 cup warm water, 2 tablespoons sugar, vegetable oil, and salt. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic.
4. 4 Transfer to a greased bowl, roll to coat with oil, and let sit until tripled in size, 2 ½ to 3 hours.
5. 5 Punch down dough and spread out on a floured board. Sprinkle baking powder evenly on surface of dough; knead for 5 minutes.
6. 6 Divide dough in half; set aside one half in a covered bowl. Divide remaining half into 12 equal pieces.
7. 7 Shape each into a ball; transfer each ball to a small square of waxed paper with the smooth surface facing up. Repeat portioning and shaping with remaining dough half. Cover all 24 dough balls and let sit until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
8. 8 Bring some water to a boil in a wok, then reduce heat to medium and keep water at a low boil. Place the steam plate on a small wire rack in the middle of the wok, leaving at least 2 inches of space between the plate and the wok. Working in batches, place buns on waxed paper squares onto the steam plate, leaving 1 to 2 inches between buns.
9. 9 Cover and steam buns for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the lid, so condensation doesn't drip onto buns. Continue steaming remaining buns until all are cooked.

• ground pork
• cabbage
• green onion
• ginger root
• water chestnut
• salt
• sesame oil
• wonton wrapper
• vegetable oil
• water
• chili oil
• soy sauce
• rice vinegar

Instructions

1. 1 Crumble pork into a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside.
2. 2 To make the filling: Mix browned pork, cabbage, green onion, ginger, water chestnuts, salt, sugar and sesame oil together in a medium bowl until well combined; cover and chill mixture in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.
3. 3 Place a tablespoon of the pork mixture into each wonton wrapper. Fold the wrappers, and seal the edges with a moistened fork.
4. 4 Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet, over medium high heat. Place pot stickers into hot oil seam-side up. Heat 30 seconds to a minute. Pour water into the skillet. Gently boil until oil and water begins to sizzle, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add remaining oil; continue to cook pot stickers until bottoms begin to brown. Transfer pot stickers to a warm serving platter.

Ingredients

• ✓ white sugar
• shrimp
• ground beef
• ginger root
• shallot
• green onion
• napa cabbage
• soy sauce
• sesame oil
• salt
• white pepper
• gyoza wrapper
• potsticker wrapper
• vegetable oil
• water

Instructions

1. 1 To make the filling: Place shrimp in a food processor, and process until shrimp are finely ground; transfer into a large bowl and set aside. Working in batches, process ground beef until fine, add to ground shrimp. Add ginger, shallot, green onions, napa cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, and white sugar to shrimp and beef mixture; mix thoroughly until well combined.
2. 2 To fill the potstickers: Place a wrapper on the work surface and add a scant teaspoon of filling in the center. With a wet finger, dampen the edges of the wrapper. Fold dough into a half-moon shape, enclosing the filling, and press and seal to remove extra air and tightly seal the edges together. It's nice to fold several small pleats in the top half of the wrapper for a traditional look before you seal in the filling. Refrigerate the filled wrappers on a parchment-lined baking sheet while you finish filling and sealing the potstickers.
3. 3 Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet with a lid over medium heat. Place potstickers into hot oil, flat-side down, without crowding, and let fry until the bottoms are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn dumplings over, and pour water over them. Cover the pan with a lid and let dumplings steam until water has nearly evaporated and dumplings have begun to fry in oil again, 5 to 7 minutes. Uncover the skillet, and let potstickers cook until all the water is evaporated and the wrapper has shrunk down tightly onto the filling, another 2 to 3 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ white sugar
• walnut
• canola oil

Instructions

1. 1 Bring a pot of water to a boil, and stir in half the walnuts; reduce heat to medium, and boil for 1 minute. Remove nuts with a slotted spoon, and let drain in a colander set in the sink.
