Many people think that they are the same. In many places, fried dumpling is even called fried dumpling, but in fact, there are essential differences between the two methods of making. First of all, let's talk about fried dumplings. The production process of fried dumplings needs to be fried first and then boiled, or boiled first and then fried (which is relatively common). In short, the process of "cooking" is indispensable, and fried dumplings are successfully fried once with the lid on. Let's talk about pot stickers again. The biggest difference between pot stickers and fried dumplings is that they can only be cooked by frying. Never add water in advance, but directly fry the raw skin and meat. During this period, it is necessary to constantly turn the pot and uncover the lid to pour water, so as to present the good taste of the dough to the greatest extent. Therefore, fried dumplings and pot stickers are by no means the same thing!
