My family loves pot stickers. It is one of those dishes we must have every time we eat at a Chinese restaurant. It is a type of dumpling which usually consists of ground meat and vegetables (or just vegetables) mixture wrapped in a dumpling or wonton wrapper and normally sealed with pleats on the edge. It can either be fried or steamed. Either way, these delicious dumplings served with dipping sauce is a perfect appetizer to share with your friends and family. Enjoy!

Hi Liza,
I love pot stickers, but have never tried making them. I think it’s because I don’t know how more than anything. Yours look so beautiful, almost too pretty to eat. 🙂

Hi Jo,
You should try making them sometime. The tedious part is folding them, which is not that hard once you get the hang of it. Take care and thanks for stopping by!
