Hello there!  This will be my inaugural post so I figure I’ll stick to a nice and simple “recipe”.   Not really a recipe…more of a how-to guide to potstickers.  Some day when I’m adventurous enough,I’ll post a recipe for dumplings and link it here but for now,we’ll assume that you’ve got your hands on some frozen pre-made dumplings.

Ingredients:

• Frozen pot stickers
• 2 tbsp oil
• 3/4 –1 cup water

Directions:

1. Start by putting the oil in your favorite frying pan.  Make sure you have a lid or a smaller frying pan that can serve as a cover.
2. Arrange the potstickers in the frying pan so that they all are touching the surface of the pan.
3. Pour in the water.
4. Turn the heat to high and cover the pan.  Step away for 10 minutes.  Do not open the cover!
5. Remove the lid.  There should be some water remaining.  Wait 1-2 minutes for the remaining water to boil off.
6. At this point the dumplings are ready.  If you would like your dumplings more crispy,you can turn the dumplings over to the other side for one minute.
7. Serve!

And there you have it!  I serve my potstickers with some dipping sauce made from combining soy sauce,black vinegar,sesame oil,and sriracha.  I don’t have exact proportions for that but it’ll largely depend on your taste.  Enjoy!
