Pot Sticker Assembly and Cooking

Assemble the Pot Stickers
Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter). Place 1-2 tsp of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.

Cook the Pot Stickers
In a large skillet, heat 2 tbs of vegetable oil over medium heat. Place the pot stickers in the skillet, flat side down, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Add a splash of water (enough to cover the bottom of the pan) and cover immediately. Steam the pot stickers for another 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
