Jiaozi- Chinese Dumplings

Rich found a massive Chinese grocery store near our place last week, so we went there today to buy ingredients for some jiaozi.

Here's the recipe I used:

Ingredients:
filling:
500 grams ground pork
1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup green onions

skin:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 c. water
(or buy jiaozi wrappers from a market)

dipping sauce:
red wine vinegar
garlic- chopped fine
ginger- chopped fine
soy sauce
coriander
chili sauce
(add to taste)

1. Mix filling ingredients. Let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Skin: in a bowl, add water to the flour and knead into smooth dough, let it stand for 10 minutes. Roll the dough into a long baton-like roll and cut it into 25 pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece to a thin circle.
3. Place 1 portion of filling in the center of a jiaozi skin. Fold the circle in half and moisten the edges with water. Use index finger and thumb to bring the sides together. Pinch the pleats together then pinch to seal. Place the dumpling on a floured tray and repeat this with the remaining dumplings.
4. Bring 5 cups of water to a boil. Add the dumplings. Stir to prevent sticking. Bring to a boil. Add 1 c. cold water. Bring to a boil again. Add 1 c. cold water. Bring to a boil for a final time. Remove from pan.
5. Serve jiaozi hot, with the dipping sauce. Goes well with a qingdao beer :)
