GLUTEN-FREE POTSTICKERS RECIPE
Making the gluten-free wonton wrappers from scratch is not a big task. I usually allocate a day of the month and make a few batches, so I have them ready when the cravings arise for potstickers or dumplings.
Unfortunately, our local Chinese restaurant doesn't offer gluten-free potstickers, so I like to have them on hand. You can also buy them online, but for the price, the effort is so worth it. I can also control what's added to my fillings.

Potstickers are crispier on the outside and the wrapper is thinner. But other than that, they're pretty similar.
WHAT OTHER FILLINGS CAN I PLACE IN THESE GLUTEN-FREE POTSTICKERS?
