Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Slowly add boiling water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, then cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by finely chopping the shrimp and mixing it with bamboo shoots, chopped chives, lemon zest, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
3
After the dough has rested, roll it out and cut it into circles (about 3 inches in diameter). Lay out several circles on a floured surface.
4
Place a spoonful of the prepared filling in the center of each circle. Lightly moisten the edges with water, fold the dough in half over the filling, and pinch the edges together firmly to seal. Place the dumplings on a plate and cover with a cloth to prevent drying.
5
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Once hot, add the dumplings, ensuring they are not crowded. Pan-fry until the bottoms are golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
6
Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet, cover, and let them steam for about 6 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.
7
Transfer the pot stickers to a serving plate with the crispy side up.
8
For the dipping sauce, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Optionally, add lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor.

Serve the pot stickers warm with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
