Pork Pot Stickers W/ Ginger Dipping Sauce

Submitted by Little Bee

"These are fabulous! I love the ones at TGIF's and these are even better! They are so easy to make! We just love them! Great appetizer to make ahead for a party. Just heat them slighty in a microwave before serving and use a fondue pot to keep the dipping sauce warm on your table. Everyone will gobble them up them!"

The pot stickers were wonderful! The reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because of the sauce, it was way to salty. I didn't do this last night but this is what I'm going to do the next time I make this. I would suggest using 2oz soy sauce, 2 or 3oz teriyaki sauce, 2 to 4 drops sesame oil, a good knob of ginger and my be a little sugar, honey, or molasses. I noticed that the sauce that I get from our local Chinese restaurant is a little on the sweet side. I love it. When I try this I'll let ya know how it turns out. I think I'll taste the sauce as I add ingredients so that it doesn't get to salty or sweet.

Have made these several times and are GREAT!! Only thing I do different is I like to fry them on both sides to make them crispy before adding the liquid to steam them. Thanks for posting! I just made the extra that I froze. Not quite as good as fresh but still very good. I fixed one package that i thawed first. The next package I just fried them frozen. We liked the ones the we didn't thaw.

These were very good. I didn't have sesame oil, but didn't miss it. Will make again.

I give this recipe a gazillion stars! I'm absolutely addicted to dumplings with no desire to seek a 12-step program, and now I can have them at home whenever I want! I made extra and put them in the freezer, and I'm already wanting to get those out and cook them also. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!
