Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2/3 pound Ground Pork
1 cup Chinese cabbage -- Minced
2 each Green Onions -- Minced
1 each Egg
1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Orange Peel -- Grated
1/2 teaspoon Hot Chili Oil
Cornstarch
40 each Won-ton wrappers -- Cut into circles
1/2 cup Peanut Oil
1 cup Water

Combine port, cabbage, onion, egg, soy sauce, salt, orange peel and hot chili
oil in large bowl and mix well. To assemble: Dust waxed or parchment paper
with cornstarch.
Set 1 rounded teaspoon filling in center of won tom skin, pressinglightly so
filling forms narrow band across middle. Moisten rim of skin. Bring opposite
sides together to form semicircle. Pinch together around outer edge.
Transfer to cornstarch dusted paper. Cover with dry kitchen towel. Repeat
with remaining won ton and filling. Place two heavy 12" skillets over
low heat. Add 1/4 cup oil to each. Arrange dumplings in skillets in rows,
fitting closely together. Increase heat to medium-high and cook uncovered
until bottoms are deeply golden, about 2 minutes, checking occasionally. Add
1/2 cup water to each pan and cover immediately. Let steam until skins are
translucent, about 3
minutes. Remove cover and continue cooking over medium to medium-high heat
until bottoms are very crisp and well browned. Drain off excess oil if
necessary. Loosen dumplings with spatula and transfer to serving dish. Serve
immediately.
