Potstickers

I promise you can make potstickers. It’s one of those things that gets a big reaction from people (think fireworks sounds: oooh! aahhh!) and is so good. Once you master the art of folding dumplings and the cooking method, you are good to go. I’ve got step by step instructions with photos. You’ve got this!

Include the kids in making the potstickers. They can scoop the meat mixture, line the edge of the wrapper with water, or help fold them. Not only does it make the work go faster having a second pair of hands but some of our best conversations have happened sitting at the table filling and folding potstickers.

I tested a lot of potsticker recipes. I knew I had a winner when I left this version on the counter as an after school snack and the kids devoured them. Jake and Lily loved this recipe and I think your family will, too.

Enjoy!
