First attempt at making Chinese food. My boyfriend loves loves loves dumplings at local restaurants. He was ver doubtful these would be good. He tried one...and didn't stop till the plate was gone. The mix of ginger, sesame oil, and delicious pork and cabbage was amazing. I used other suggestions and made a dipping sauce of soy sauce rice vinegar and sesame oil with chopped green onion. I didn't steam them, I pan fried them in a non stick pan with a splash of oil. It is time consuming but great hands on project for date night, crack a bottle of wine and have fun. You'll deffinately enjoy these

I love the Pot Stickers that we get from take-out, and now I can make them at home, and they are even better! I don't have a bamboo steamer, I just steam them in a covered wok in some chicken broth, they are great as meal with some steamed vegetables or as a side dish!

I think that this was a great recipe for pork dumplings. They were very successful and very tasty. You need to plan a little extra time to make dinner if you are not overly proficient at wrapping the dumplings. Be careful not to overfill the dumplings either.

Really tasty! Next time I'll triple the recipe and invite some friends over to help assemble them. They freeze well so we can all share the dumplings to take home.

I wasn't that big of a fan. Hubby loved them more than store-bought though. Lot of work when steaming, so give yourself enough time.

These are delicious! I did not have sesame oil, so i just used a little olive oil. Instead of folding them in triangles, i find it a little tricky to keem them closed, i shaped them into little squares as well as little pouches by sinching up the 4 corners. Very tasty served with a peanut satay sauce (which has sesame oil in it). Thanks for the recipe!

These tasted great! While easy, they were time consuming. Next time I will probably make them all the day before. I pan fried and then steamed with water in the skillet. Next time I will try boiling in salted water. Very authentic and my kids loved them.

used a 2 cups cabbage and 2 cups bok choy, added the Chines 5 spice from this site and a tsp of sugar. This makes a large batch. I steamed them all, the longer the meat mixture sat the better they tasted. So I would mix the filling and leave 2-4 hours, then make the dumplings. We can't stop eating these, sooo good.

This recipe is amazing!!! My husband said they tasted very authentic! I halved the recipe and it made 49 dumplings. I love the idea of pan frying them and then adding chicken broth to the pan, covering and steaming for 15 minutes, worked great. Perfectly seasoned garlicky dumplings. My husband is finishing the rest off right now and says they're oddly addictive! I also made a dipping sauce with soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar and green onions as others have suggested. Excellent recipe!
