# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything happens in one pan, which means maximum flavor and minimum cleanup
  • The potstickers get crispy while staying tender inside, creating perfect texture contrast
02 -
  • Dont overcrowd the skillet when cooking potstickers or theyll steam instead of crisp
  • Work quickly once the vegetables hit the pan, they should stay vibrant, not mushy
03 -
  • Let your skillet get properly hot before adding the aromatics, this prevents sticking and builds better flavor
  • Reserve a splash of pasta water before draining to loosen the sauce if it gets too thick
