Mutton and wax gourd potstickers

Introduction:

"Guotie is a kind of snack similar to frying. Pork stuffing is more common, and its shape is generally the same as dumpling, but the cooking technique is slightly changed. Don't underestimate the potstickers. They are very particular about the ingredients and the process of frying. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi liked to eat dumplings very much, but she refused to eat them once they were cold, so the imperial kitchen had to keep cooking hot dumplings and throw away the cold ones. One day, the Empress Dowager went to the back garden to enjoy the flowers. She smelled the fragrance coming from outside the palace wall, so she went out of the palace curiously. She saw someone cooking food with golden skin, which looked like dumplings. After tasting it, she felt that the skin was crisp and the stuffing was juicy, which was quite delicious. Later I learned that it was a dumpling discarded by the imperial kitchen. It was not easy to boil it in water because the skin was cold and stuck together. So I fried it in oil and ate it hot. The bottom of the potstickers is golden yellow, and the surrounding and upper parts are slightly soft and steaming, which is the best. When eating, the skin is crispy and soft, the stuffing is rotten and crisp, the aroma is pungent and the aftertaste is endless. "
