"You will love this recipe! It takes time to make but these pot stickers are better than any you can buy. Make the whole recipe and freeze the uncooked ones then just take out the frozen and do the last few steps. If you freeze them do so on a cookie sheet so they are separate and you can take out a few or all as you need them. You can fry these right from the freezer they just take a minute or two longer to cook or you may defrost them first. The length of the instructions make the recipe look more difficult than it is. A helpful tip is to seal the edges of each pot sticker I use a damp Q-Tip."

I made this following the instructions listed and was delighted at how these turned out. I only got 50 pot stickers out of this recipe, maybe I filled them too much, but they were perfect!!! This will be a repeat recipe for sure.
