How To Make Potstickers
Hsiao-Ching Chou is known for her homemade potstickers. From Tony Bourdain ( to all the fans of her cookbook Chinese Soul Food and dumpling classes, she has taught many people how make potstickers from scratch. Usually, Hsiao-Ching teaches a hands-on potsticker class at schools in Seattle, but now she wants to make it available to more home cooks. Get the recipe:

Potstickers Made From Scratch (Pan Fried Dumplings)
They go by many names: Potstickers, gyoza, japanese pan fried dumplings. At the end of the day they are delicious dumplings packed with loads of asian flavors, pork, and then pan fried for a crispy bottom. As mentioned in the video, you are more than welcome to use pre-made gyoza wrappers for this if you choose not to make the dough... Although, if you are super duper cool; you'll make the dough yourself.

Potstickers | Basics with Babish
At once saucy, crunchy, juicy and chewy, potstickers are a cross-cultural appetizer that are worth the effort to make from scratch. Well, maybe not the wrappers. But even if you can't find those in your local grocer, we've got you covered with a non-traditional but low-impact method for making the dough from scratch as well!
I don't show how to crimp dumplings very well, so check out this much more informative tutorial on dumpling-folding:

Equipment
Unfortunately, that small tapered rolling pin that I show in the video is no longer available on Amazon. Here is a similar one that I found: (affiliate link)

NOTES
I have a variable temperature kettle that I use to heat the water to the right temperature. You can mix cold water with boiling hot water to get the same results. Note that you'll likely need more cold water than boiling hot water. You can also run your tap at the hottest setting and use that hot water.
In the video, I mention that the dough pieces should be between 12 to 14g for medium-sized dumplings and 14g to 16g for larger dumplings. Those are measurements that I like when I'm using the dough to make potstickers. I want the wrappers to be slightly thicker so that they can withstand the heat during the pan-frying process. It's a matter of personal preference, really. If you are making steamed or boiled dumplings, you'll probably want the dumplings skins to be thinner. For example, with xiaolongbao (小籠包/soup dumplings), I've seen many recipes recommend the wrappers to be about 9 to 10 grams each because you want the dumpling skins to be very thin.
Also, I'm rolling out the wrappers until they're about 3.5 to 3.75 inches in diameter.
If you don't have rolling pins at all, you can use a jar to roll out the wrappers. You can also roll out sheets with a pasta machine and use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes. The cookie cutter should be at least 3.5 inches in diameter
