And don't forget to set aside time to hand wrap each bundle. The culinary experts at The Kitchn suggest setting aside two to three hours when preparing 60 dumplings from scratch.
The video above from Andrea Nguyen, Contributing Editor at Saveur Magazine, shares simple guidelines to make DIY dumplings a breeze. Once you master the art of filling and shaping these pockets of deliciousness, you'll be cooking perfect pot stickers all the time.
