I love Trader Joe's potstickers. I cook them in the microwave with a wet paper towel over them like the directions suggest. I use soy sauce with them.
QVC's are good but are so much more expensive. I prefer TJ's.

I've only ever had Trader Joes potstickers. I like them. I do the pan fry til the bottom has a little colour then add some water, cover, and simmer for a few minutes. Take off the lid and allow the water to evaporate and crisp up the bottom a bit. I like them plain but a little soy sauce is tasty too. I Always have a bag or two of TJ potstickers in the freezer.

Thanks for all the interesting opinions, advice and new ideas, folks!
I personally think trying new Asian-type dishes is fun, and husband likes spicy food, as a general rule. (He's older than I am, and I think his taste buds have become dull, so now he complains when food tastes too bland. LOL!!)
The potsticker question was always on my mind before, so thanks for giving your input.

Something I think I'll have to try when we get our Trader Joes. Not sure when that will be, but it was announced that they would be building one in the neighboring town, about a 20 min. drive. It will be somewhere I will have to plan to go to as it's not really on my regular route to much of anywhre since I generally prefer the back routes.

Costco had a brand a few yrs ago that were tasty

I bought some at the grocery store for under $15.00 (a big bag with sauces included) and they were pretty good, although cooking perfectly takes a little practice.
I pour some water and oil in a frying pan and slightly brown them.
I know folks have had some shipping issues on QVC and I did not want to risk it, especially since they are not the cheapest purchase.

Those of you who have tried these, what do you think of a particular potsticker brand, and which method do you choose to prepare them?
I've only used QVC vegetable potstickers. I buy Swanson chicken broth in the box, throw in 4 or 5 pot stickers and cook till done. Easy ,fast, and very good. I live alone so don't use the whole box of broth.

I prefer the chicken cilantro mini wontons at Costco, or the pork potstickers from Schwans, or the gyoza from Trader Joe, to the QVC ones, and all of them are about half the price per serving (not the number of pieces but the comparable amount of protein). Yes, I did the math. Yes, that's pretty nerdy of me.

I first heard about Trader Joe's gyoza (same as pot stickers) from here a while ago.
So I got the vegetable ones and now If I could have just one thing thruout the day it would be these!
I put 2 on a microwave plate and heat for 1 minute and 55 seconds and they come out crispy on the outside and soft on the in.
The only downside is I can't seem to do without them! I'm lucky my daughter still goes to Trader Joes. She feels it is one of the safest to go to and goes around dinner time when not many are there.
Never go on a Friday or Sat!
