Horse racing in Hong Kong is a daily event throughout the year. The track there rarely closes. Pot stickers are one of my favorite dumplings. They can be made the day before and re-heated before leaving the house, or just served at room temperature at the Tailgate. They are delicious by themselves, but also good with a dipping sauce. This dish is also in the first volume of our book series.
