How people cook with it
Potstickers are versatile and can be prepared in several ways to suit different preferences. They are commonly enjoyed as a main dish or a side.
- Pan-fried as an appetizer
- Steamed for a lighter option

To cook, you can pan-fry them for a crispy bottom and tender top. Heat a small amount of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the potstickers flat side down and cook for a few minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Then, add water to the skillet, cover, and steam until the wrappers are cooked through and the filling is hot. Alternatively, they can be steamed directly or boiled. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving.
