pot stickers
Crispy Asian dumplings
Pot stickers are Chinese dumplings filled with meat or vegetables, pan-fried until the bottoms crisp and stick slightly to the pan, then steamed.
The name describes the cooking method—they're meant to stick just enough to develop a golden crust before being released.
We ordered pot stickers as an appetizer.
Also called gyoza in Japanese cuisine.
