1

Start by mixing 1 pound of ground pork sausage with 1/2 cup diced jalapeno, 1/2 cup cascabel chili, and other vegetables in a bowl.

2

Add about 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the mixture.

3

Mix everything well, similar to making meatloaf, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

4

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.

5

Add warm water gradually to the flour mixture until it forms a dough ball, then let it rest for about 30 minutes.

6

After resting, knead the dough for about 5 minutes and cut it into four equal pieces.

7

Roll each piece into a log and then cut it into smaller pieces to form circles about 3-4 inches in diameter.

8

Take a spoonful of the filling and place it in the center of each dough circle.

9

Wet one edge of the dough with water, fold it over the filling, and pinch to seal, creating a crimped edge.

10

Heat a Teflon skillet over medium heat and add the potstickers, cooking until golden brown on one side.

11

Add water to the skillet to steam the potstickers, cover, and let them cook until the water evaporates.

12

Remove the lid and cook for an additional few minutes to crisp the bottoms again.
