Method
 

Make the Dough

Rest the Dough
  1. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling

Roll Out the Dough
  1. Divide the rested dough into small balls and flatten each into a circle about 3 inches wide.
Fill and Shape the Potstickers
  1. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, fold the dough over to seal, pinching the edges tightly.
Cook the Potstickers
  1. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and place potstickers in the skillet. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Steam the Potstickers
  1. Add a splash of water (about 1/4 cup) to the skillet and cover with a lid. Steam for 3-4 minutes.
Finishing Touches
  1. Once the water has evaporated, uncover and let them crisp up for an additional minute. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
