Looking for Pot Stickers

Submitted by EngryEngineer t3_zze872 in springfieldMO

Hey there, I know there are a lot of Chinese food posts already here, but I can't find pot stickers here. A lot of good dumplings either fried or steamed, but none that have been cooked in the way that they steam on top, but fry on the bottom where they "stick to the pot." That combination of steamed/roasted/fried textures is what I'm looking for, is there anywhere in town that does it? I'll also happily take suggestions for soup dumplings be they Chinese, Georgian (khinkali), or from any other place!

Here is a picture to show what I'm talking about:

Aldi sells some decent frozen potstickers, they're easy to prepare this way. Toss them in a pan with a little bit of oil, splash in some water after a couple minutes, and you'll have just what you're after.

Seoul Market on Campbell has them too. I think they’re seasonal at Aldi.

I always get mine at Seoul and 🤤 they are so good and I love that I can make them at 3 am without judgement. It's fantastic

Many years ago, I ordered "fried" dumplings at China King, and I think this is actually how they were cooked. It was a long time ago, so I may be wrong. But as a fat American who wants my dumplings to be completely fried, I think I can remember my disappointment that they were not.

FWIW, Happy China and China King seem to be basically the same, so maybe that is another option?

China King stopped making the “good potstickers” during the pandemic, and have not re-started, so far as I know. Such a disappointment.

There’s a blue and white bag of frozen potstickers that Walmart sells. These turn out just like you are asking for. These are better than Aldi and better than the green and white bag Bibigo.

Although now that I think about it they fry their gyoza and that’s probably not what you’re looking for 🤔
