Alton is "da man". Made this recipe for "grins & giggles" and everyone in the family loved it. Easy to prepare, but a litlle time consuming. Will allow more time for the actual stuffing of the stickers next time. Kids were eating them as soon as they came out of the pan. A fun dish to make, even more fun to eat. We used Plum sauce and Hoisin sauce for dipping. I would definately double it for more than 4 people. Kind of like chips, ya can't eat just one. Thanks Alton!

I tried the recipe after watching the show and it was a breeze, straight forward, and fun. The second time I experimented a bit with the ingredients, added some bean sprouts, substituted Italian sausage for the ground pork, and changed a few spices. IMHO, it was even better. I even tried steaming instead of frying; boiling instead of frying; frying and then boiling; and even straight into the oven; they all worked. Overall, a nice change from what most people are probably used to, me included. Thanks Alton!

After eating the potstickers, I was left feeling that what I had prepared was meatloaf in a wrapper. The ingredients are largely similar to meatloaf, especially the pork, ketchup, and worcestershire sauce. The potstickers were not bad, just not what I suspected.

This is a "make ahead" type of meal or snack, at the end of which you might want to go ahead and cook some of them immediately (you can always make a double or triple batch to keep in the freezer. AB makes a point in the episode that you can go straight from freezer to fry (or cook in NO TIME! I also believe the salt is supposed to be one to one and a half tsp... However, do not forget that AB uses KOSHER SALT!!! This tends to be less strong than the table salt most others use, as is sea salt. I have found I need almost twice as much sea salt as table salt, but I have not tried kosher as yet. Remember these incredible culinary geniuses tend to use ingredients that are "not the norm" for the general public.

BTW, AB and several other reviewers have mentioned the soy and honey dipping sauce and, while that sounds wonderful, I would add a bit of heat- like crushed red pepper or horseradish paste- to REALLY make it!

Never stop Alton!! You constantly inspire me!!!!

This recipe was recommended by a friend.
I substituted ground turkey instead of pork. This recipe came out wonderfully but there are two things Imust comment on.
One, it took way longer than expected!! Our meal wasnt ready when we planned it. It was...from prep to table 1 hour! I know it was my first time with this recipe but I suggest planning your time with this in mind. Also, the recipe was quite salty. When I try this again, I intend to remove the salt. The other ingredients should supply enough salt to the dish.

Even with the drawbacks, I enjoyed the potstickers very much and look forward to doing this again. This time with my daughter to cut back on the prep time!

This was the first time I had ever made potstickers. My two older daughters helped (ages 6&2. I thought they had great flavor, but the salt was overpowering! We are going to tweak the recipe next time, but there will be a next time!

I made these with ground turkey instead of pork and they came out great! They were a little salty for my taste, so next time and I will probably use half the amount of salt and back off a tad on the Worcesteshire sauce. Really delicious!

Good recipe and they were pretty easy to make, but were way too salty. 1 1/2 teaspoons is a lot!
