Pot Sticker Dipping Sauce:

Combine pork, beans, water chestnuts, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger root and cilantro; mix thoroughly. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in center of each wrapper. (If using won ton wrappers, cut off corners to make round wrappers.) Moisten edges with water and seal by pinching together to form dumpling. Brown several dumplings in non-stick skillet in small amount of oil, if desired. Add 1/4 cup water; cover and cook on low about 5 minutes. Remove to serving platter. Repeat with remaining dumplings. Serve with Pot Sticker Dipping Sauce. Makes about 50 pot stickers.

Combine 1/4 cup each rice, vinegar and soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice. Makes about 1/2 cup dipping sauce.

*For best results, soak and cook dry beans by preferred method.
