I'm making a batch of these! I too used to participate in potsticker parties in college with my group of friends from the International Student Association, and loved having a batch of them tucked in my freezer ready to go. What a great way that used to be to spend a day! I swear if I ever get through the glut of produce in my kitchen waiting to be canned (who knew I’d get cheap good tomatoes in January????)

I live in the Netherlands and I've never heard of potstickers. What is the difference between potstickers and gyoza? I live in the Netherlands and I’ve never heard of potstickers.

I actually found you last night. I love all your tips on how to make them. When I went the frig to start, I found my cabbage was bad. I didn't think you could make them without cabbage? So I Googled, Potstickers without cabbage and it brought me here again! :) Well, I didn't have any of the ingre. you have for this post! lol All I had was chicken. So I put it in the Cuisinart and chopped it all up. Added about a bunch of green onions. I put in some garlic, ginger, hot chili pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil, I think that was about it? One tip I love that you gave was to cook up a little "test" filler bite. What a great idea!! Why didn't I ever think to do that? Then you can change it. I did my test, it was awesome! Really I wanted to try and make my own wrappers too cause I live out in the "sticks" and Wal-Mart is the closest thing. Their wrappers are too "wantony". So I found a rec. for 2 C. AP flour. 1 C. Boiling water 1/4 t. salt. Mixed it up, let it rest an hour. Made the snake, cut little pieces, rolled them really thin (youtubed that ;) ). Turned out AWESOME!!!! TRIPLE AWESOME!! Love, love, loved it! Man, with just simple ingre. these can be made! My first attempt the wrappers were bready. Wasn't getting them rolled out enough! Thanks for all the info. and help in making these! I learned a lot from reading the comments too. That's why I had to come back and leave one also! Appreciate all the pictures! That was a BIG help with the pleating! :) Ah...success!!! It was a beautiful thing!! :) I’ve been looking for Potstickers for a while now. I actually found you last night.

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 00:55:30 +0000 http://steamykitchen.com/blog/?p=718#comment-454987 I made these tonight and they were absolutely perfect! The only thing I did different was adding cabbage since I had it in the fridge. The flavor was awesome and pleating the dumplings wasn't nearly as tough as I thought it would be. Can't wait to defrost the extras and have them as apps at a dinner party. Thank you for the recipe! I made these tonight and they were absolutely perfect!

Those dumplings look just DELICIOUS! And I may have the dumbest question of all time, but there is no step to include cooking the pork....? Does it go in raw and cook while the dumplings are being pan-fried?? Is that a dumb qustion? I might be a total idiot! lol!!! Hi Jaden!

In our blog about culture - where food plays a pivotal role - we have spoken about an Italian expatriate in Shanghai. She got to know Chinese culture through her Ayi ("Aunty" - something like a maid, which means "life saver" in China) by preparing together dumplings and pasta bolognese.

Get the dumpling/gyoza wrappers! And don't bother making them from scratch (pain in the butt!!) :-) They are different – wonton wrappers are square and generally a little thinner than the dumpling/gyoza wrappers which are round.
