variants
or potsticker
plural pot stickers or potstickers
: a crescent-shaped dumpling filled usually with pork, pan-fried, and then steamed
A toothsome marriage of crispy (on the outside) and tender (on the inside), pot stickers can be filled with just about anything.—Gretchen McKay
The ideal potsticker is both crispy and chewy thanks to a unique cooking method. The filled dumplings are sautéed so that the part of the wrapper in contact with the hot pan becomes crisp. Next, water is added and the pan is covered to steam the rest of the wrapper to tenderness.—America's Test Kitchen
