Suggest a better description: Continued from Part 1 NOTES: * Delicious Northern Chinese snack and hackers staple -- Hackers on both coasts and most places in between love potstickers (though if youre from the Right Coast, you probably know them as Peking Ravioli, or just ravs. This recipe is based on one found in Chef Chus Distinctive Cuisine of China. Total preparation time is about 45 minutes. They dont come out as good as the ones from Chos in Mountain View, but if you dont happen to be within 45 minutes of Mountain View, theyll do very nicely, thank you. Yield: Makes about 2 dozen. * You can freeze uncooked potstickers for later use, if you squeeze out the water from the cabbage during preparation (in a colander or cheesecloth). Freeze potstickers separately on cookie sheets until firm, then put them in plastic bags. When rolling out the pancakes, leave the centers slightly thicker than the edges. A thicker center will hold up better during the browning. * If you prefer, steam potstickers for about 12 minutes over boiling water instead of pan-frying. (No self-respecting hacker would be caught eating steamed potstickers, though.) * These are really not hard to make, and come out quite nicely! Following the dough recipe above leads to a fairly dry and floury dough; this makes it hard to roll out and pleat. Feel free to add a little more water. There are also now commercially available potsticker presses that take care of folding and pleating; theyre cheap and plastic and work rather well. * The perfect potsticker is uniformly brown with a thick brown area on the bottom (where it sticks to the pot); it seems that achieving this only comes with practice. I tend to fry both sides a bit before adding the water; this helps. Beware of too much heat; the bottom will bubble and crack. This doesnt taste any different, but doesnt look as nice. * If you dont cook the whole batch at once, store the potstickers so that they dont touch; the dough tends to stick to itself, so the potstickers may tear as you remove them. * Many restaurants serve Hoy Sin sauce (hoisin) instead of hot sauce. : Difficulty: moderate. : Time: 45 minutes. : Precision: measure the ingredients. : Chris Kent : DEC Western Research Lab, Palo Alto, California : kent@decwrl.DEC.COM {ihnp4,ucbvax,decvax}!decwrl!kent : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
