Instructions

1.
**Make the Dough:** In a large bowl, combine flour and hot water. Stir until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
2.
**Prepare the Filling:** In a separate bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, napa cabbage, green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
3.
**Shape the Potstickers:** Divide the dough into small portions (about 1 inch in diameter). Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter). Use a snowflake-shaped cookie cutter to create a snowflake shape.
4.
**Fill and Seal:** Place a small spoonful of the pork and shrimp filling in the center of each snowflake. Gently fold the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle. Pinch the edges together to seal, creating pleats along the curved edge for a decorative effect.
5.
**Prepare for Cooking:** Lightly dust the potstickers with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
6.
**Pan-Fry:** Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the potstickers in the skillet, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
7.
**Steam:** Pour 1/2 cup of water into the skillet. Cover immediately with a lid. Reduce heat to low and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the potstickers are cooked through. Be careful when removing the lid, as steam will escape.
8.
**Serve:** Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil).

Chef's Tips

To prevent the potstickers from sticking to the skillet, use a non-stick pan or lightly grease the pan with oil.

If you don't have snowflake cookie cutters, you can use a round cookie cutter or simply shape the potstickers by hand.

For a spicier filling, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili oil.

Potstickers can be made ahead of time and frozen. Freeze them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then transfer to a freezer bag once frozen solid. Cook from frozen, adding a few minutes to the steaming time.

Dipping sauce suggestions: Soy sauce with a dash of rice vinegar and sesame oil. Sweet chili sauce. Ginger-scallion sauce.
