Chef Judy Fu at her Jiao-zi Bar
Judy Fu's Black Bean Sauce is a robust, hearty, sauté
and stir-fry sauce for use with seafood, chicken, vegetables, beef,
pork and tofu. Loaded with black beans, garlic and a touch of ginger.
Judy Fu's Potsticker/Jiao-zi Sauce is the tangy,
savory dipping sauce that accompanies the award-winning potstickers
and jiao-zi served at Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon Restaurant.
Like it hotter?... Spice it up by adding Judy Fu's Hot
Oil. It also makes an excellent marinade or stir-fry sauce
for beef, pork, tofu and chicken.
Judy Fu's Hot Oil spices up sauces, soups, stir-fry,
pasta and rice dishes. Hot and full of flavor!
Judy Fu's Peanut Sauce is thick and delicious. It thins
when heated (low or medium-low stove top heating works the best).
If desired, combine with one teaspoon to a few tablespoons of water
(mild), coconut milk (satay/Thai) or Judy Fu's Hot Oil
(spicy) to create delicious interpretations of the original. Judy
Fu's Peanut Sauce makes a wonderful dipping sauce for seafood,
tofu and vegetables. Children love its rich, mild flavor. Just heat
and pour over cooked rice or noodles and watch it disappear.

How to cook frozen Jiao-zi
1. Fill a very large pot (or stock pot) about half full of water.
2. Bring water to a rolling boil. As soon as water comes to a rolling
boil. Add frozen jiao-zi.
3. As soon as water again comes to a full boil (and almost boils
over), Add two cups of cold water. Stir very frequently but gently,
so that the jiao-zi will not stick together. Bring
to boil again.
4. Repeat step #3 three more times for pork jiao-zi.
5. Repeat step #3 two more times for vegetable jiao-zi.
For PORK jiao-zi the whole cooking process should
take about 15 minutes.
For VEGETABLE jiao-zi, cooking should take about
10 minutes.
When you think the jiao-zi are done cooking, remove
one piece from the water and cut it in half to be sure that the
inside is fully cooked and hot.
When purchased at Snappy Dragon, there is at least
one extra piece of jiao-zi provided for this purpose.
All pork is considered fully cooked when it reaches 165° F.
Now you are ready to scoop your jiao-zi out of
the water, and place them onto a plate or platter. Serve them while
hot and steaming, accompanied by Judy Fu's Potsticker/Jiao-zi
Sauce.
In China, the water in which the jiao-zi have been
cooked would be offered to the diners as a soup alongside the jiao-zi.
Marinated Pan-Fried Salmon -for a Snappy twist on a Northwest favorite-
-Marinate a salmon fillet in Judy Fu's Potsticker Sauce for
fifteen minutes, using approximately one quarter cup per pound.
-Take fillet out of marinade and place in lightly oiled pan over
medium low to medium heat and spoon out one half the reserve marinade
over the salmon.
-Cook turning salmon every few minutes, continuing to spoon over
reserve marinade, until done (ten to fifteen minutes depending on
thickness).
For a Spicy twist - stir in a teaspoon (or two) of Judy
Fu's Hot Oil to each one quarter cup of Potsticker Sauce
before marinating.
On the Grill - extend marinating time to two hours and baste
while grilling over medium heat.
Skewer chicken breast chunks, bell pepper and onion pieces (making
enough skewers to serve six) and cook on a lightly greased grill
over medium heat for ten to fifteen minutes. While grilling, mix
one cup of Judy Fu's Peanut Sauce and 3/4 cup coconut milk
over low to medium-low heat in a sauce pan. Serve skewers on a bed
of rice. The peanut sauce mix can be served in individual dipping
bowls or poured directly over the skewers.
Options
-Add one to two tablespoons of Judy Fu's Hot Oil to the peanut
sauce mix while heating to create a palate-pleasing spicy rendition.
-Marinate chicken or entire skewer in Judy Fu's Potsticker Sauce
for one hour prior to grilling to produce a mouth-watering combination
of flavors.

and reduce cooking time to four to eight minutes, depending on size
(vegetables may need to be cooked longer, according to taste).
Heidi's Triple Threat Stir-fry
(Start by marinating strips/cubes of chicken breast or tofu for

snow peas, mushrooms, cabbage, onions, etc.).

of vegetables and how thick you slice your chicken/tofu).
-Reduce heat to medium low to medium.
-Stir in two heaping tablespoons of Judy Fu's Peanut Sauce
and cook for an additional two to three minutes. The heat will melt

recommended)
Boil Chinese noodles until cooked to desired tenderness.

sesame seeds. Marinate in refrigerator for 2-6 hours. Broil or grill

Potsticker Sauce to the rescue: If you forget to marinate,

chops, etc.), put Judy Fus Potsticker/Jiao-zi Sauce
on the table. It makes a mouthwatering dipping sauce. If you choose,
spice it up with Judy Fus Hot Oil.
From the Snappy Dragon Restaurant Kitchen:
An appetizer, snack or side dish. Makes 4 pancakes
Ingredients: 3 C. and 2T flour
1 cup boiling water
4 T vegetable oil
1/3 cup cold water
4 tsp. salt (to taste)
4 T chopped green onions
vegetable oil for frying
1. In a large bowl, mix flour and boiling water. Let mixture rest
for 5 min.
Add cold water, knead dough, and let rest for 15 minutes.
2. Divide dough into four equal portions.
FOR EACH PORTION: on a lightly floured board, roll dough out to
a 10" circle; spread 1 T oil onto the round and then sprinkle
with 1 tsp. salt (to taste), and 1 T green onions.
3. Roll the pancake up like a jelly roll, then coil into a snail
shape.
This creates the layers that give the pancakes their wonderfully
flaky texture.
(If planning ahead, the pancakes can now be wrapped in plastic
and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. For the rest of us, its
on to the next step).
4. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough "snail" to
a 9" round and fry in an oiled 9" non-stick pan until
golden brown and crispy on both sides. A bit more oil may be brushed
on before frying second side, to ensure a golden brown color. Cut
pancake into eight pie-shaped wedges.
5. Serve with Judy Fus Hot Oil and/or Judy Fus
Potsticker/Jiao-zi Sauce.

A Ballard Market Favorite!
(makes 3 to 4 dozen won tons)
1 lb. ground pork
1 tsp. minced ginger
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1 green onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
In a medium bowl, mix well all ingredients. Place a rounded teaspoon
of filling on the corner of a won ton wrapper. Fold the corner over
the filling, tucking the point under. Using egg batter, moisten
the two side corners, fold them behind the filled corner and pinch
them together to hold. Place finished won tons on a cookie sheet
until filling is complete. If the won tons will be boiled, they
then may be refrigerated (for up to eight hours) or frozen (on the
cookie sheet until firm, then place in plastic freezer bags). For
fried won tons, cook immediately. If desired, fried won tons can
be cooked and cooled, then placed in the freezer in plastic bags.
Boiling:
Bring a kettle of water to boil, place won tons in kettle and reduce
heat to simmer. Cook for about five minutes, eight minutes if frozen,
or until pork filling is no longer pink.
Frying:
Cook won tons in two inches of oil at 350- 375 degrees for two to
three minutes, turning occasionally. Using a slotted spoon, remove
from oil and drain on paper towels. Reheat frozen fried won tons
on cookie sheet in oven to retain crispness.
Use Judy Fu's Potsticker Sauce, Peanut Sauce or Hot Oil
individually, or any combination, as the dipping sauce for your
won tons.
