Cooking the pot stickers:

Some recipes say to first steam the dumplings, then fry them. But, I always fry them directly and they come out really good.

Pour about 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan. (no need for lots of oil, just a little)
When hot (but not smoking), add the dumplings and fry for about 1 minute, on medium heat. Fry the flat side part of the dumplings until golden brown and if you want, fry the other parts too as shown in the picture below.
Add about 1/4 cup of water and immediately cover with a tight-fitting lid. Let the dumplings steam for about 2-3 minutes.
