Pot Stickers

Step 3: Put 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4: Bring the sides of the wrapper together, with the filling contained inside.

Step 5: Pinch one side of the wrapper into small folds, working down both sides, until a familiar pot sticker shape results.

Step 6: When finished with the folds, the pot sticker should be fully sealed.

Step 10: Pour in ½ cup water.

Step 12: Your pot stickers are now ready to eat. Enjoy!
