    List of Ingredients




    Peking ravioli

    Wrapping

    2 cups flour
    1/2 cup water*

    Sift flour. Add water, mix well, gather into ball. Let sit, covered with a cloth, 25 minutes. Knead thoroughly on a floured board; shape into several long strips. Cut each into several chestnut-size pieces, about 30 altogether. Shape each into a ball and roll into thin 3-inch round patties.

    *If joa tze (Peking Ravioli, pot stickers) are to be fried, use hot water in dough.

    Filling (for boiled version)

    2 slices ginger root, chopped
    2 scallions, chopped
    1 lb ground pork (or beef)
    1 cup chopped Chinese celery cabbage (or chopped frozen spinach)
    1 tbsp light soy sauce
    (1/2 tsp salt)
    1 tsp sherry
    1 tsp cornstarch
    1/4 tsp sesame oil
    30 wrappings

    Mix filling thoroughly. Fill each wrapper with about a teaspoon of mixture in middle. Fold over wrapper and shape in a half-circle, press the edge tightly closed.

    Put joa tze into 3 qts boiling water. Bring to a boil again and add 1 cup cold water. Repeat when the water is boiling again. After third boil, remove and serve.

    Filling (for fried version)

    2 tbsp peanut oil
    1/4 ground pork
    1/2 lb shrimp (or all pork)
    2 cups chopped Chinese celery cabbage
    3 slices ginger root, chopped
    2 tbsp chopped scallion
    1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
    (1/2 tsp salt)
    1 tsp sherry
    1 tsp corn starch
    1/4 tsp sesame oil
    wrappings
    1/3 cup soup stock (or chicken broth)

    (Shell and devein shrimp, mince.) Parboil celery cabbage in boiling water 1 minute, drain. Mix everything but the broth, wrappers and oil thoroughly. Fill, fold and seal wrappers.

    Heat a pan (wok) until very hot, add oil, turn off heat. Arrange a single layer of pot stickers in the pan. Cover. Brown bottoms over low heat for 5 minutes. Sprinkle in half the stock (broth), cover, cook 5 minutes. Pour in the rest of the broth, cook 1 more minute. (You don't need to turn them while they are cooking.)

    Serve with "rav sauce" (recipes follow).

    Note: Ravs can be made with scrambled eggs, for vegetarian ravs, or you can use ground or minced raw chicken, beef or shrimp; instead. Approximately the following:

    Rav Saice:
    In a small bowl, combine:

    1/4 cup soy sauce
    1/2 tsp sesame oil
    1 tbsp ginger root (chopped finely)
    1-2 garlic cloves (peeled and crushed or chopped finely)
    1-2 tsp chopped scallion (green part)
    hot oil and vinegar, to taste

    This is sometimes sweetened with brown sugar and crushed red pepper is also sometimes added.

    Ginger Sauce:
    2 tbsp dark soy sauce
    4 tbsp water
    1 tsp vinegar
    1 tbsp chopped garlic
    1/2 tbsp chopped ginger
