To prepare, you can pan-fry them for a crispy bottom and tender top, steam them for a softer texture, or boil them. Pan-frying usually involves adding a small amount of oil to a skillet, placing the potstickers in a single layer, and cooking until the bottoms are golden brown. Then, water is added to the pan, and the potstickers are covered to steam until the wrappers are cooked through and the filling is heated. They are best served immediately after cooking.
