To prepare the Pot Stickers

In a medium bowl, stir together pork, chives, soy sauce, sherry, ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Place a heaping teaspoon of pork mixture in center of one wonton wrapper (keeping the rest covered to prevent drying). Lightly wet edge of wrapper, fold over and press tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In two batches, cook dumplings in the boiling water until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, keeping them in one single layer.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high. Add half of the boiled wrappers and cook until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and wrappers. Serve with dipping sauce.

Makes about 4 servings.
