Tip 1: You must not put too much oil, because too much oil will make the fried dumpling feel oily, and eating too much oil on the skin will make the fried dumpling paste easily. Just put a little oil in the pan and make sure that the pot stickers don't stick to the bottom of the pan when you put them down.
Second: Sprinkle a little water when the pot stickers are slightly shaped, then cover the pot and stew for about 5 minutes. This allows the steam to quickly steam the stuffing inside the pot stickers, so that the bottom of the pot stickers is slightly crisp and the stuffing is just cooked.
Tip 2: The water sprinkled when making pot stickers is not ordinary water. In fact, a little old vinegar is added to it. On the one hand, adding vinegar can make the pot stickers just crisp and delicious, but not paste the pot. On the other hand, it can also improve the color, make the skin of the pot stickers more golden and beautiful, and arouse people's appetite.
When adding old vinegar, we should be careful not to add too much. Just add a few drops of old vinegar to a small bowl of water. After all, the pot stickers we eat have no taste of old vinegar, and its function is to enhance the color and not paste the pot.
Third: when the pot stickers are completely steamed, you can take out the pot. When taking out the pot, pay attention to using a shovel to hold the pot stickers along the bottom of the pot. If the pot stickers are stuck together, they can be served together, or a plate just enough to cover all the pot stickers can be inverted into the pot, and then the pot can be turned over. The reason for this is to prevent the fried dumpling from breaking the skin at the moment when it is served.
