Question about PotStickers

Perkup — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 21:48:38 GMT

I just received my first order of Pot Stickers and they didn't come with any suggestions about cooking. I can do some guessing, but can anyone give me suggestions on your favorite way to prepare them? Want to make some tonight. Thanks a bunch.

I get mine at Sam's and I do a vegetable stir fry to go with them and some white rice. I just brown them in a pan and then sprinkle with a little teriyaki sauce

@Perkup From the Q? I would go back to the product description online.

I've had frozen potstickers and heated then in a bit of oil. Mine were not from the Q, though.

You might repost your question in Recipes-you might get more suggestions.

Enjoy!

@Perkup

I heat up my nonstick Circulon skillet on medium-high heat, pour in a bit of coconut oil, add the potstickers, and then put on the lid. After a minute or so, I turn down the heat a bit, and once they start to brown, I start to shake/stir the skillet to move the individual pieces around. Once they get nice a golden brown, I lift the lid, and add about 1/2 teaspoon of water. This final step "steams" them so they don't stick and makes them moist.

I dip them in soy sauce/sweet chili sauce, or General Tso's stir fry sauce/soy sauce. Also as a side dish I make a quick Asian Slaw with shredded cabbage, soy sauce/toasted sesame seed oil dressing, and sesame seeds (sometimes Chia seeds too). As you may clearly see, I love soy sauce!

i like to microwave them for about a minute or two and then pan fry them in a little butter or peanut oil. they are good plain, with some type of dipping sauce from the grocery store, or with soy sauce.

traditionally, they're cooked in a shallow pan in a small amount of liquid ( I use water) and oil. Leave the lid off and while they cook the water evaporates leaving the oil which they then brown in.

Alternatively you can also just boil them and then brown the bottom in another pan with some oil. They can also be added to soup like a kreplach.

Both @jpie and @jaxs mom suggestions have worked for me. You can use any oil you have on hand. I have also nuked them on occasion, but the pan frying and steaming adds that extra something.

Yes, I have used EVOO, avocado oil (high smoking temperature) and canola too. I love the taste of coconut oil so I use it the most.

I have used the microwave too when I was trying to really cut out calories and was in a huge hurry, but they are not as tasty this way!

I like them pan fried or sprayed with Pam and baked in a 400 degree oven about 10 minutes until browned.

I love potstickers. I have steamed them and they are ok but my favorite preparation is to pan or deep-fry.

Sauteed in a pan is probably the fastest way to take them from frozen to heated. However, I would opt for heating in the oven. If you thaw them a bit before heating they should only take 10-minutes at around 350-degrees to warm up.

Sometimes I pan fry them as other posts have described but more often than not I make a soup. Chicken broth, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and/or shallots, green onion and the potstickers (and bok choy if I have some).

This is untraditional but I tried making them in my air fryer, and they turned out great. Just experiment with times to make them to your taste.

From their website:

Microwave

Cover 10 potstickers loosely with wet paper towel and heat on high for 2 minutes. Turn the potstickers over and heat for an additional 2 minutes. Potstickers will be heated through, but not browned.

Pan Fry

Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in non-stick frying pan to medium heat. Place frozen potstickers in the frying pan. Cook until bottom of potstickers are slightly brown. Add 1/4 cup water to the pan, cover immediately, and cook on high heat. Turn to medium heat when most of the water has evaporated. Continue to cook until all the water has evaporated and the bottom of the potstickers are golden brown.

Steam

Boil water in steam cooker. Line the steamer with cabbage or lettuce leaves. Place the frozen potstickers in the steamer on top of the leaves. Cover steamer and cook for approximately 15 minutes, until potstickers are done.

I boil them first, than pan fry with sauce.
