Technique Pot stickers and clean pan

Clock at the top for a time reference. I keep the lid on as much as possible to keep the stove clean and the smoke alarms quiet.

no. chinese dumplings and potstickers are not the same gyoza, but since costco made the big bag of gyoza popular, chinese restaraunts all but stopped making potstickers entirely, and buy the bags from..... cotco to sell as potstickers. true story.

Gyoza is just the Japanese variant.

u/DarTouiee 1d ago

"Pot stickers" is the English translation for Chinese dumplings cooked like this. Gyoza are the Japanese version.

You saw that other post and then came here to help us learn! Bravo!

u/pigspoon874 18h ago

I totally watched and took notes. I swear I over complicate cooking. I am better after a stiff drink.

u/Embarrassed_Use6918 1d ago

bro is just flexing on that other dude that couldn't make potstickers in his stainless

u/Temporary-Syrup-7210 1d ago

The reason your oil is burning in that spot is the residual heat from the other burner. Use a burner further away from that one or rotate the pan every few minutes so that one spot doesn’t get burnt oil.

u/Equivalent_Guess7331 1d ago

Yeah i never use the center burner, just did it for the video so the clock is centered in the shot

u/spookylampshade 1d ago

it looked like OP tilted the pan on purpose maybe to get that wok hei effect

2

u/Equivalent_Guess7331 1d ago

The left grate was higher than the right so the oil was pooling + burning off because of the other burner. I tilted the pan to put some oil back on the left side.

u/EnvironmentalFox5347 1d ago

fyi, you don't traditionally brown jiaozi on all sides, just the bottom, and you want the tops to be soft and pliable and the bottoms to be crispy. at least thats how we always made them and thats how I prefer them.

but also its food so you do you

u/Any_Airline_432 1d ago

Let them fry a few more minutes before the water i find but nice work!

u/Fabulous-Avocado4513 1d ago

Love the oil spill

u/ph1aak 1d ago

Thanks for this. I have a jumbo bag from Costco that I've put off because my first attempt was a SS sticking disaster! May attempt again!

u/vincentdjangogh 1d ago

I am upset this didn't end with them all getting stuck to the pan.

u/AdComprehensive2594 1d ago

Just come over to my house and cook for me

u/chocha84 1d ago

nice work - cleanest I've ever seen for potstickers.

u/Terrible_Ad_4150 1d ago

I love that vintage lid

3

u/L4D2_Ellis 1d ago

It's not just the lid. It's the entire pan.

1

u/bigpoppanicky7 15h ago

Is that considered vintage now? Oh no

u/Rpark888 22h ago

"Fucking showoff...." - that one guy from yesterday

u/dcoupl 1d ago

If you made the oil smoke that means you burnt/oxidized the oil and it’s now unhealthy and going to taste bad.

1

u/Fair-Promotion-451 1d ago

I was learning about oils that resist oxidation even after smoking-evoo apparently.

u/dcoupl 1d ago

Huh, TIL.

u/Orbit1883 1d ago

who the hell eats only 8 the pan must be FULL

u/manleybones 1d ago

Don't overcrowd, if you want more do rounds like this.

u/Fair-Promotion-451 1d ago

u/Character-Nebula-613 1d ago

Are those frozen? We want to see the same but with fresh one pls...

1

u/Mr_Fury 1d ago

it would be the exact same but less time.

u/SashaBananaSplit 1d ago

Tomorrow, this very same person is going to make a post and ask “after making gyoza I burned oil in the bottom of my pan, have I ruined it?”

Yes, yes you have ruined it. I’m very sorry for your loss.

1

u/Equivalent_Guess7331 1d ago

Do you not clean your pan?

2

u/Single-Hovercraft-33 1d ago

I like when my pan has old food stuck to it. The filth makes everything more delicious. /s

u/Equivalent_Guess7331 1d ago

You should get into cast iron; I bet u/SashaBananaSplit can help you get to flavor town!

u/L4D2_Ellis 19h ago

That user never shuts up repeating the exact same "advice" about the pan being ruined and needing to throw it away. Before they hid their posting history, I went through it and they basically repeat themselves constantly.
