    THE TALE OF THE MAGIC POTSTICKERS.
    I worked in a American Chinese restaurant that by ACCIDENT used RED cabbage for their potstickers by an ordering error on a 3 day national holiday weekend. We had to use it, as that was all we had. We cleaned out every supermarket of GREEN cabbage for a 10 mile radius that prior week.
    Chef John really mentioned the possible use of RED cabbage today at 1:02 .
    We had a weeks supply of potstickers made with RED cabbage in lieu of green cabbage. The problem was the filling was BLUE as the kitchen staff made the filling WITHOUT AN ACID [usually vinegar] TO MAKE THE CABBAGE RED.
    No one would eat the BLUE potstickers. Then I got an idea and named this culinary fiasco MAGIC potstickers.
    I made a special dipping sauce of black vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and a bit of sugar. When you dipped the BLUE potstickers in the vinegar based sauce the BLUE potstickers MAGICALLY TURNED RED!
    The MAGIC potstickers were a big hit with the kids. The grownups not so much. For months after we finally sold out all the BLUE potstickers, kids would still ask for the MAGIC potstickers. A funny, but true story.

      thats interesting name for Gyoza.. also you dont need Cabbage for making it. you can replace it with more onions or go for the pumpkin or radish instead.

      Yes, but they were a regular menu item in a Chinese restaurant...called pork potstickers. They were always half cabbage, just not purple cabbage. Thanks,

    If you are into Asian dipping sauces, make a larger portion of the equal parts vinegar and soy sauce mix and let the extra age. The mellowed mix has a different flavor than the raw mix and is actually traditional Chinese, according to Grandmother Wong. It can also be flavored with chilies, scallions fried onions and/or garlic when serving.

    I have made spaetzle with the special tool and with a potato ricer (this works, too), but a cheese grater never occurred to me. Brilliant! The one way I cannot master is the wooden board and stick that pushes it off into the water. I’ve watched German ladies on CZcams doing this, and it’s so cool.

    Austrian here, that is a culturally correct assessment.

    Of course there isn't a best way to make dumplings. But here's my way to make them as a Hong Konger. Hope it help.
    For the meat: First, add some sugar just 1-2 teaspoon is fine. It will balance all the saltiness. Add a few tablespoon of water to the meat. Stir the meat until all the things combined and water is absorbed. The meat will like a "sticky dough".
    For the vegetable: If you use cabbage, add some salt to let the water come out. Make sure you drain and dry them before adding to the meat. Because it may make your filling watery.

    I always loved the way my Aunt made Spatzle. She made it peppery somehow and unfortunately the recipe passed away when she did. Tried to duplicate it but it never comes out right. It was always a side dish to beef in our house and sometimes served with cheese on top. My Mom topped it with corn chips in her later years so it had a crunch.

    Che John, the best Chinese dumpling stuffing is the mixture of Chinese chive, minced sweet shrimp and fresh ground pork on the fat side. You have to buy the ground pork from a Chinese grocery store. The American super market version is like mashed which doesn’t taste as fresh as the lighted ground version sold in the Chinese grocery stores.
