Instructions

To prepare the filling: Combine ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a bowl. Add chopped green cabbage and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour.
To make the dough: Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually add hot water, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 3 to 5 minutes. If sticky, add a bit more flour. Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After the dough has rested, divide it into 4 equal pieces, keeping 3 pieces covered. Roll the first piece into a log, about 3/4 inch thick. Divide the log into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin 3 1/2-inch circle on a floured surface to create the pot sticker wrappers. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Moisten the edges of a wrapper. Place a scoop of the pork mixture in the center. Fold and pinch the 2 sides together in the center, then pinch the remaining edges to form pleats. Flatten the bottom slightly so it stands upright. Transfer to a floured plate and repeat.
For the dipping sauce: Combine rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place 6 or 7 pot stickers in the hot oil, flat-side down. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add water and cover the pan to steam for 3 minutes. Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking until the water evaporates and the bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and repeat.
Serve the pot stickers with the dipping sauce.
