Notes
Not a Fan of Curry? Use ½-1 tablespoon of gochujang paste in place for a tangy, slightly spice broth. This is my family's preferenceMini Frozen Dumplings: Reduce the baking time to 25 minutes. Add Noodles: Add 2 cups of vegetable broth or chicken stock to the base, nestle 2 packets of ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded), top with potstickers, and bake as directed.Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave at 50% power to keep the dumplings from becoming rubbery.Nutritional information is approximate and based on using Trader Joe's Chicken and Pork Gyoza Potstickers.
