I like this method of cooking the potstickers better than the boil and then brown method. However, when cooking until tender, some of the potstickers became a bit overcooked/browned on one side, even over a fairly low heat. Also, we would have preferred a spicier sauce. Will use this recipe again and 'play' with the sauce ingredients a bit.

This made for a great lunch today! I added in a few sesame seeds with the dipping sauce, and it was fabulous! (Re-reviewing because I forgot the stars the first time!

This is almost the same as my sauce - the exception is I prefer it spicier. If you do as well, add about 1/4 tsp of Sambal Ollek - ground fresh Chili paste. It's really spicy stuff, so us it sparingly; you can always add more to increase the spice! Enjoy.

Thanks for teaching me a new way to prepare frozen potstickers! This recipe for sure beats just plain old soy sauce. I would have preferred a bit more of a kick as well. I saved this recipe to make again and am also hoping someone suggests a way to make this spicier.
