Ingredients: 

Dipping Sauce:
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce
1 teaspoon hot chili oil

Filling:
¼ pound ground chicken
2 ounces shrimp, deveined, shelled and finely chopped
2 scallions, chopped
1 egg white
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
¼ cup water chestnuts, minced
2 tablespoons Chinese celery, minced
1 teaspoon cilantro leaves, minced
½ teaspoon ginger, minced
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
Dash ground white pepper

24 potsticker wrappers
3 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup chicken broth or water

Preparation: 

To make the sauce:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, chili-garlic sauce and hot chili
oil. Mix well and reserve.

To make the filling:

2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, shrimp, egg white, water chestnuts, garlic,
scallions, celery, cilantro, ginger, sugar, salt, and sesame oil. Season with a little
pepper and mix, stirring rapidly in 1 direction until mixture is well combined and
spongy.

To make the potstickers:

3. Working in batches, lay 4 potsticker wrappers on a clean surface. Keep the
remaining wrapper covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying.

4. Put a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each of the 4 wrappers

5. Brush the edges with water. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling, pinching the
edges together to form semi-circles.

6. Put the potstickers on a baking sheet seam-side up and cover with a clean
towel. Repeat until all the potstickers have been formed

To cook the potstickers:

7. Heat a large skillet over medium. Add about 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is
hot add half the potstickers seam-side up.

8. Cook the potstickers until the bottoms are golden crisp, about 4 minutes

9. Add 1/3 cup broths. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the liquid is
absorbed, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the cooked potstickers to a platter. Repeat,
cooking the remaining potstickers.

10. Serve potstickers warm accompanied by the dipping sauce.
