Main

• 1

  For pork and cabbage filling, toss cabbage in a colander with 2 tsp salt to coat and leave to drain (30 minutes). Tip cabbage onto a clean tea towel, squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then combine in a bowl with remaining ingredients. Mix well with your hands, then lift pork mixture out of the bowl and throw it back in, slapping against the side of the bowl, repeating until mixture is thoroughly combined (6-8 minutes). Refrigerate until required, then form into 9 oval balls and set aside on a tray.

  Combine flour and ½ tsp salt in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Gradually add 175ml boiling water, mixing with chopsticks or a knife until you can form the mixture into a ball, adding extra boiling water if necessary. Place dough in a bowl, cover with a cloth and stand to rest (1 hour). Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth (5 minutes), roll into a 6cm cylinder, then cut into 9 even slices. Roll out each slice on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 2mm, cut out a 10cm round from each with a pastry cutter, dust with flour, then stack rounds and wrap in plastic wrap. You can refrigerate them for 1-2 days at this stage.

Pour in stock, cover with a lid and cook until the liquid has completely reduced and pot-stickers are cooked through (6-8 minutes).
