They embody the essence of Chinese cuisine—simple ingredients crafted with care, often shared among family and friends. Today, potstickers have gained global popularity, with numerous variations reflecting local tastes and ingredients.

1

Make a dough by mixing 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 cup of water and let it sit for 10 minutes.

2

Roll the dough into a one-inch diameter log and cut about a quarter-inch piece off the dough.

3

Use a rolling pin to flatten the piece into a potsticker wrapper.

4

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with rice wine vinegar.

5

Prepare a filling by mixing ground turkey, cabbage, garlic, chili oil, and ginger.

6

Pinch the filling into the center of the wrapper and fold to seal.

7

Heat oil in a skillet until hot, then place the potstickers in the pan, flat side down.

8

Allow the potstickers to brown nicely on the bottom.

9

Lower the heat, add water, and cover the skillet to steam the potstickers until cooked through.

10

Finish with a drizzle of chili oil or sesame oil, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
