The chefs at Red Star Craft House in Pennsylvania start this recipe with readymade pork potstickers, which shave a lot of prep time from the dish. The frozen, Chinese-style dumplings can be steamed or pan-fried. A zippy mango slaw and red pepper jam add bright color to the dish, which works well as a shared appetizer in a multicourse meal.
