simple sticker lunch
Finally able to get potstickers how we like them now that I'm using stainless
Not a food prop guy but I tried to cheer my lady up with the attempted bell pepper flower (it kinda worked)
Update with cooking details (as requested):
these were frozen (they sat in the bag at room temp for about 15-20min, but I didn't do anything more to thaw them)
started by getting the pan very hot, then turned down the heat to cooking level and let the pan settle for a minute or two
these called for 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (I use a high heat olive oil instead, but I still started with the 1 tablespoon)
once I put the potstickers into the pan, I didn't touch them until the bottom fully cooked and they easily released from the pan (about 3-4min)
by the time the bottom cooked, almost all the oil was soaked up, so I added a bit more oil (approx 1/2 tablespoon more) before turning them
cooked for about 3min on each of the two remaining sides
added 2 tablespoons of water, covered them, and turned down heat as low as I could while keeping the flame on
steamed for about 5min (until the water in the pan was gone)
