Notes

Dumpling-making is a tedious process best shared with family and friends over libations and laughter. If this is your first time making potstickers, there's a good chance your first few dumplings will be super-ugly. It's totally fine!
Give yourself permission to embrace imperfection for this one because once you get the hang of it, you've got an impressive skill in your culinary arsenal to surprise and delight all you share it with. I recommend watching a couple of Asian potsticker dumpling making videos on YouTube to get the basics. 
The 2 most important tips are:
  1. Don't overfill your dumpling wrappers; use no more than 1 teaspoon of filling per wrapper.
2. Use water liberally to make sure dumplings are sealed properly.
