Chicken Gyoza Potstickers

What is it?

Crescent-shaped dumplings come in a 16-ounce frozen bag, each one tucked into a wheat flour wrapper with chicken, cabbage, onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger. They’re fully cooked, so you can pan-fry, steam, microwave, or drop them into soup. Pan-frying with a little oil, then adding water and covering the pan, gives them the familiar crisp-bottom, tender-top texture associated with potstickers. Compared with other Trader Joe’s frozen dumplings, these lean on a straightforward chicken filling rather than pork or a more heavily sauced mix. The wrappers stay fairly thin, which helps the filling and seasoning come through without much extra bulk.
