How to Fold the Dumplings
- Either by dipping the edges of the wrapper in water, or using a wet finger, wet the edge of half the wrapper.
- Place about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of filling into the centre of the dumpling wrapper.
- Fold the wrapper in half.
- Start pleating the potstickers by pinching the wrapper starting from the left side – use your index finger and thumb to gather a pleat and seal it to the right.
- Hold down the pleat with your left thumb and pinch a new pleat with your right hand.
How to Pan Fry the Dumplings
- In a large non-stick pan, add in half a tablespoon of oil on medium heat.
- Add in the dumplings and let the bottoms crisp up, around 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully add in 1/4 cup of water into the pan and quickly place the lid on. There will most likely be some splash back so be very careful. I have the lid in front of me, close to the pan, gently add the water and quickly close the lid on top!
- Let the potstickers cook for another 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated. More time may be needed if your dumpling wrappers are thick. Set aside when done.
- Repeat the process until all the dumplings are cooked.
