Recipe View Serve and Enjoy: Serve the warm pot stickers immediately with the flavorful dipping sauce. Enjoy the delightful combination of crispy bottoms, tender tops, and savory filling!

For best results, ensure the filling is well-chilled before assembling the pot stickers. This will help prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the pot stickers. Work in batches to ensure even cooking and browning.
Experiment with different fillings! Try adding shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a vegetarian option.
If you don't have water chestnuts, you can substitute them with jicama for a similar crunchy texture.
Adjust the amount of chili oil in the dipping sauce according to your spice preference. You can also add a dash of sesame oil for extra flavor.

    I substituted ground chicken for the pork, and they were still fantastic! A great way to lighten them up.

    I've made these pot stickers several times now, and they always turn out perfectly. The overnight chilling of the filling really makes a difference.

    Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers, or they may burst during cooking.

    These are so much better than store-bought pot stickers. The homemade version is definitely worth the effort.
