Description

I finally got around to making these last night and, while my photos don't exactly reflect it, they were awesome! I made a very simple dipping sauce of about 2 parts yamasa soy sauce to 1 part rice wine vinegar with some sesame seeds sprinkled on top. I froze the extra prepared, but uncooked pot stickers on a cookie sheet, each layer separated by waxed paper, then put them in a vacuum sealed food saver bag and back into the freezer. These got pretty consistent 5 star ratings on the foodtv.com site.
