TGI Friday's Pot Stickers

Ingredients
Dough Filling Dipping Sauce
 * 2 1/2 C. flour
 * 1/2 tsp. salt
 * 1 C. hot water
 * 1 T. shortening or oil
 * 1 lb. ground pork
 * 2 T. soy sauce
 * 1 T. sesame oil
 * 1 tsp. grated ginger
 * Pinch of sugar
 * Salt and pepper to taste
 * 3 green onions, chopped
 * 1 egg
 * 1 T. cornstarch
 * 1 can water chestnuts, finely chopped
 * 1 clove garlic, minced
 * 1/2 C. soy sauce
 * 1/4 C. white vinegar
 * 1 tsp. chilli oil
 * 1 green onion, chopped

Directions

 * 1) Combine the flour, salt, hot water and shortening in a bowl and incorporate into a smooth dough.
 * 2) Allow the dough to rest for 20 minutes, covered.
 * 3) Combine the filling ingredients. Combine the dipping sauce ingredients.
 * 4) Roll the dough out about 1/8 thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out 3 inch circles.
 * 5) Brush a little water over the circles and place about 2 teaspoons of filling in center.
 * 6) Fold the circles in half and press to seal, making sure to squeeze out any air.
 * 7) Stand the dumplings up on the folded side and press slightly so that they stand up nicely.
 * 8) To cook, bring a pot of salted water to boil, and boil the dumplings until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
 * 9) The dumplings may be frozen at this point for future use; this recipe makes about 8 dozen.
 * 10) Heat a skillet with about 2 tablespoons oil and fry the dumplings on one side only, until nicely browned.
 * 11) Drain on paper towels. Serve with the dipping sauce.
