Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper. Fold the gyoza wrapper over the filling and pinch the edges to seal it shut.
(You may want to use a cornstarch/water mixture to make this easier). Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet or wok.
When oil is ready, carefully add the dumplings and cook on high heat until golden brown (about 1 minute). Without turning the dumplings over, add 1 cup of water and cover. Steam for about 1 minute to cook the raw filling and then turn off the heat (this is to keep the bottom from burning).
Let the dumplings cook for a few more minutes with the heat turned off. Serve the potstickers with Dipping Sauce or soy sauce.
