How to Cook Potstickers Dumpling (Traditional Style)

2016-08-11 12.35.36.jpg

This is a potstickers gyoza dumpling cooked in the traditional style. Gyoza potsticker dumplings are small, crispy, pan fried dumplings and are common in many dim sum places.

I remember years ago when I tried to cook a pack of frozen potstickers dumplings, I've always managed to get it to stick to the pan and ruin the dumpling. Nonetheless, it's still delicious, but loses a lot of it's visual appeal and 'dumpling-ness.' So I decided to give it another go and made these really delicious dumplings and sauce.
