    Just a suggestion from someone that was a Restaurant Manager for a very large Chinese restaurant chain. Try steaming your dumplings first, then pan fry with the oil. Boiling them will give them a different texture. Your recipe is spot on if you add some green onions to your sauce.

    Forgot one thing, if you want the perfect consistancy, put your ingredients in a food processor or blender. You can't go wrong.

    Quick question. Maybe it should be obvious, but how many potstickers in a serving?
