Steps:
- Place the pork chops between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/8-inch. Trim any fat from the edges, and make a few small slits along the edge to prevent the pork from curling during cooking.
- Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk the egg and milk together in another bowl until well blended, then mix the panko bread crumbs and paprika together in a third bowl. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture one at a time, then dip them into the egg mixture followed by the panko mixture.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange no more than two pork chops in the skillet at a time, cooking until the meat is golden brown no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Place the pork chops in a warm oven to keep warm.
- Pour the chicken stock into the skillet used to cook the pork. Reduce the heat to low, and scrape up any brown bits in the bottom of the pan. As the stock simmers, mix the dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sour cream together in a bowl. Whisk about 1/4 cup of the hot stock into the sour cream mixture, then pour it back into the skillet. Heat until warm and thick, about 5 minutes. Serve with the pork chops.

NUOC CHAM (VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE)
My personal take on a traditional dipping sauce. A little bit sweet, but mostly savory with a nice bit of heat. I make this a minimum of 24 hours before I use it to let the flavors mingle. Leftover sauce can be kept for three to four weeks in a sealed container in the refrigerator. If this isn't to your taste as written, experiment! Everyone's tastes are different! Some like their nuoc cham really sweet and mild, some like it tangy with heat. Mine tends to be more towards the tangy heat side. So, before you add the garlic, onion, and vinegar, sample it and adjust the ingredient amounts to suit your liking. Keep in mind that this recipe is LOUD when you first make it. The flavors mingle and mature a bit after the first 24 hours. I hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a bowl or baking dish, add the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground mustard and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper and stir to combine. Beat the eggs in a separate baking dish.

CHICKEN POT STICKERS WITH DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- For the dough: Combine the flour and salt in a large heatsafe bowl. Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring, until you have a coarse meal mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water to form a dough.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let sit for 20 minutes.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chicken broth, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, salt, scallions and a bunch of turns of pepper.
- To assemble the dumplings, divide the dough into 24 balls. Roll them out into 4-inch circles, flouring the surface as needed. Place 1 tablespoon filling in the center of each and fold in half to make a half-moon shape, pleating the edges to seal well.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Boil the dumplings in batches for 4 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon, allowing excess water to drip off, then transfer to the hot oil (be careful because this step can get spitty). Cook until the dumplings are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel and let cool slightly. Alternatively, to steam the dumplings, line a bamboo steamer with blanched cabbage and steam over boiling water until the filling is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
- For the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, scallion and red pepper.
- Serve the dumplings with the dipping sauce

DIPPING SAUCE FOR ARTICHOKES

Steps:
- Mix ingredients for dipping sauce and set aside.
- Lightly oil a large bowl.
- Put the flour and salt in another large bowl, piled up.
- Make a dent in the top of the pile, and crack the egg into it.
- Mix the egg into the flour.
- Add enough water to the mixture to make a thick dough.
- The consistency should be like bread dough.
- In any case, don't add too much water--it shouldn't be like batter at all!
- Turn the dough out onto the flour-dusted counter, and form into a ball.
- (It helps to flour your hands first).
- Place the dough into the oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap (cellofane).
- Let stand 1 hour.
- Meanwhile mix all ingredients for filling and place in the fridge.
- Next, remove dough and place on flour-dusted counter (or work surface).
- Knead a bit and flatten until very thin (but not see-through or falling apart).
- Using a large, round cookie-cutter (or bottom of coffee can or top of glass) cut three-inch rounds.
- Don't place them on top of each other, as they could stick together!
- Knead the leftover pieces together again and cut more rounds until there's no dough left.
- Spoon a bit of the filling into the center of each round and fold in half (to make a semi-circle shape).
- Seal edges with a bit of water, and use tongs of a fork to decorate the edge.
- To prepare, either steam the dumplings (if you have a steamer) for 15 mins, or boil for 10 mins.
- If you boil, add some oil to the water and don't overcrowd the pan--make them in batches.
- If you like, you can fry the dumplings in a skillet or wok to brown them before serving.
- Handle gently!
Tips:
- Experiment with different ingredients to create your own unique dipping sauce. There are endless possibilities, so don't be afraid to try something new.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This will make your dipping sauce taste its best.
- Make sure to taste your dipping sauce before you serve it. Adjust the flavors as needed until you're happy with the result.
- Serve your dipping sauce with a variety of foods. Dipping sauces can be used with appetizers, main courses, and even desserts.
- Store your dipping sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
