TGI Friday's Pot Stickers

Dough
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup hot water
1 tablespoon shortening or oil

Filling
1 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 pinch sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
3 green onions, chopped
1 egg
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 can water chestnuts, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced

Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon chili oil
1 green onion, chopped

Directions:

Combine the flour, salt, hot water and shortening in a bowl and incorporate into a smooth dough. Allow the dough to rest for 20 minutes, covered.

Combine the filling ingredients. Combine the dipping sauce ingredients. Roll the dough out about 1/8 thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out 3 inch circles. Brush a little water over the circles and place about 2 teaspoons of filling in center. Fold the circles in half and press to seal, making sure to squeeze out any air. Stand the dumplings up on the folded side and press slightly so that they stand up nicely.

To cook, bring a pot of salted water to boil, and boil the dumplings until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain well. The dumplings may be frozen at this point for future use.

Heat a skillet with about 2 tablespoons oil and fry the dumplings on one side only, until nicely browned. Drain on paper towels. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Hadn't tried pot sticker forever and when I did it was and instant like them a lot! But I gotta confess...homemade pastry dough ain't never been my friend and not to mention premade wrappers would make this really fast and easy! Could I use premade won ton wrappers or something else?
