Potstickers

Yes, these potstickers are homemade. I wrapped them and pinched each and everyone of them. The wrappers are store bought, but I made the meat fillings with chopped water chestnuts.

The initial plan was to prepare molo soup with the ground pork filling. My daughter who bought the wrappers, picked up the white thicker wrapper used for potstickers instead of the yellow thinner wonton wrappers. My fillings did not go to waste as these potstickers were equally good. A package of the wrapper can produce around 20-40 pieces. Good thing is, you can freeze and serve them later.

Best way to cook these potstickers would be to steam them initially over a double boiler and then fry them with a small amount of cooking oil in a covered frying pan. Frying would create the crunchy bottoms, seen on the second picture.

One can buy these potstickers in Flushing, Queens. The vegetable potstickers cost 4 for a $1. The store offers a variety of dimsum and freshly made taho with ginger syrup.
