To prepare, you can pan-fry them for a crispy bottom and tender top, boil them for a softer texture, or steam them for a delicate bite. Pan-frying involves heating a bit of oil in a skillet, adding the potstickers, and cooking until golden brown on one side, then adding water and covering to steam them through. Boiling is straightforward, just add to simmering water until they float. Steaming requires placing them in a steamer basket over boiling water.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional pork potstickers, these offer a distinct chicken flavor profile. The inclusion of sriracha sauce provides a noticeable level of heat and a tangy undertone that is not present in unseasoned or mildly seasoned varieties. The filling is often more finely minced than in some other dumpling types.
