Question about PotStickers

Perkup · ‎03-09-2010

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!

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.
