The BEST Chinese Potstickers recipe ever!
Make restaurant-quality Chinese Potstickers in just easy 3 steps.
What Makes Potstickers Special? It all comes down to how they are cooked. While it is common to steam or pan-fry dumplings, cooks use both methods to make potstickers. The filled dumplings are pan-fried on one side and then steamed in broth or water.
Chinese Potstickers
Our whole family likes the crispy texture of the potstickers, but many people have failed to cook this dish. What I want to share today are super simple tips that allow you to complete restaurant-quality Chinese potstickers in 3 easy steps.
Potsticker Origins
The Chinese have been enjoying potstickers since the Song dynasty (960 to 1280 A.D.).
According to a charming legend, they were invented by a chef in China’s Imperial Court, who accidentally burnt a batch of dumplings after leaving them on the stove for too long.
The overcooked dumplings were burnt on the bottom only, and not on top.
With no time to prepare a new batch, the chef served the dumplings with the burnt side on top, announcing that they were his own special creation.
Fortunately, court members loved them! haha
Soup ideas you can serve with Chinese Potstickers
