Delicious and fabulous to make ahead, these tasty little potstickers are a wonderful appetizer, or even a snack.

I LOVE these things. They’re so much fun to make, and a LOT of fun to eat. I like to get a group together (it used to be my stepdaughter and friends) and make a ton of them.

Some to eat now, some for the freezer. It’s fun to sit around and fill (and use the handy little tool) and chat with everyone, and at the end of it – you get to eat!

Handy dandy tools

I do use a tool that looks like this:

You don’t HAVE to have one, you can simply fold them over and crimp them by hand, but if you have access to a good Asian grocery store, or Amazon, pick a couple of them up (they’re inexpensive!)

What’s in these?

There are many variations on potstickers, lots contain vegetables like cabbage or mushrooms, but I feel like those are too spring-roll-like for my tastes, and stick with the basics: flavored up ground pork… with a delicious dipping sauce to go with it.

How are they cooked?

Many restaurants deep fry these, but I like the more traditional method of browning the bottoms in hot oil, then adding water to the pan, popping the lid on and letting them steam the rest of the way. Try and eat just one. Heck… try and only eat 5!!

Why don’t you have an Asian themed dinner – with one or all of these?
