The secret to the best pot sticker recipe is the home made wrappers




CHINESE POT STICKERS

Chinese pot stickers, otherwise known as jiaozi, are a type of dumpling. Made of a thin dough pastry, they are filled a variety of ingredients, such as pork, cabbage, mushrooms, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, onions, sesame oil, soy sauce and ginger. These ingredients are then wrapped in the dough and pinched together to create the classic crescent shape. They have a golden-brown crunchy bottom and a succulent savory filling that makes them an irresistible snack. Chinese pot stickers are a traditional Chinese delicacy and are seen as a symbol of prosperity. They are also believed to bring good luck, which is why they are eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Chinese pot stickers have been around for centuries. They are believed to have originated in Northern China. Pot stickers became popular for their versatility as well as their convenience. Nowadays they are enjoyed in almost every corner of the world and they are typically pan fried and then steamed to create a crispy outside and juicy inside, and eaten with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and vinegar. They often come served with a side of shredded vegetables such as carrots, scallions, and ginger for added
