Recipes Crispy Gluten-Free Pork Potstickers with Sesame Dipping Sauce 2 Reviews These excellent gluten-free dumplings are made with sweet rice flour, Napa cabbage leaves, ground pork and tamari. Leftover filling can be made into a delicious patty. By Silvana Nardone Silvana Nardone F&W Digital Food Awards Winner Website Silvana's Kitchen Profile Silvana Nardone is one of America's great bakers. The fact that everything she makes is gluten-free is astonishing. The former Brooklyn bakery owner and editor-in-chief of Every Day with Rachael Ray learned that her son Isaiah was gluten- and dairy-intolerant in 2007. She cleared out her pantry and made it her mission to create new versions of his favorite foods, like corn bread and brownies—recipes she shares on her blog and in her book Cooking for Isaiah. She recently cracked the code on sandwich bread: "Normally, my son would come home from school, lift the loaf that was cooling and say, 'Heavy again.' Then, one day, I added every ingredient I'd ever tried. He lifted the loaf and said, 'Hey! It's light!'"

In a medium bowl, mix the pork with the cabbage, cornstarch, pepper, scallions, garlic, ginger, tamari, and sesame oil. Cover the filling and refrigerate until ready to use. Make the dipping sauce In a small bowl, whisk the tamari with the vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Let stand for at least 15 minutes, then strain. Make the gluten-free flour In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Make the dough In the bowl of a food processor, process 1 1/4 cups of the gluten-free flour (reserve the rest for another use), sweet rice flour, and salt. With the machine on, slowly stream in the boiling water until a dough forms. Divide the dough into 2 pieces and place 1 piece of dough in a resealable plastic bag. Roll out the other piece of dough on a flour-dusted piece of parchment paper into a 16-inch rope about 3/4-inches thick. Cut the rope into rounds about 3/4 inch wide and put the rounds in the resealable bag. Roll out and cut the remaining dough. Working with one dough round at a time, use the palm of your hand to gently flatten, then roll out to form a circle about 1/16 inch thick. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper and using your finger, moisten half of the edge with water. Fold the dough up and over the filling to form a half moon and pinch or pleat to seal the dumpling completely. Place the dumplings on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick frying pan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil until hot but not smoking. Add about half of the dumplings in a single layer and fry over moderately high heat until crunchy and golden, about 3 minutes. Carefully pour 1/3 cup of water into the pan and cover immediately. Steam the dumplings over moderately low heat until cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove the lid cook over moderately high heat until the water evaporates. Cook the remaining dumplings and serve with the dipping sauce. Make ahead Silvana's Kitchen Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 year.
