Growing up, we always have dumplings at home, for family gathering, festivals, or just a cozy night dinner. We always make extra dumplings, either freeze them for later or make them as pan fried dumplings the next day. The authentic way are the left over dumplings pan fired the next day. It is the perfect breakfast. However, if you are having the pan fried dumping moment without the left over dumplings, this is the recipe for you. We are making it form scratch, which is the modern way cooking. Let us know how it goes in comments below or on our Youtube. We are excited to hear back from you.

What is the Difference between Pan Fried Dumplings and Potstickers? 

The authentic pan fried dumplings are pan fired left over dumplings. The left over dumplings are with a dryer skin, and it is easer to fry in the oil without splash. Fry all 3 sides of the dumplings, and make it extra golden crunchy. The modern way of pan fried dumplings are direct pan fry the raw dumplings with a little bit oil in the pan, then add some water and flour mixture. This is to use the oil water steam cook the dumplings through. once all the liquid evaporates, the bottom layer becomes crunchy. This is the pan fried dumplings we see now days.

On the other hand, the authentic potstickers are kind of like dumplings, but the skin is much thiner, and the shape is longer. Nonetheless, the two end are open instead of sealed. Once it is cooked, the potstickers are much flatter, like a flat rectangle shape. The most common potsticker filling is ground beef.

What is the Secret Ingredient for Making the Best Dumplings?

Use the fresh ingredients, the fresher the better. Get all the ingredients ready, and make extras always. You can either use the left overs the next day, or freeze them for later. Or, you can even use them like wontons to make dumpling soup. It is a time saver, and also helps with meal prep.
