POT-STICKERS
Best pot-stickers we’ve ever had. The home made wrappers make a huge difference.
Tip:
We followed the recipe exactly as written, except for using soy sauce instead of salt, and also added garlic. What really made the difference was using Kurobuta pork shoulder and grinding it ourselves in a food processor.
