Food: Homemade Potstickers

A couple weeks ago, after deciding that food can be art, too, I posted several meals that had been long overdue. One of them was about potstickers for which I could not take credit. I can, however, take credit for these potstickers.

The problem is, I'm torn whether to take credit for them or not, because, honestly, I wish they were a bit better.

As usual, the recipe is one adapted. Thanks Betty Crocker. Sorry for botching them! The only changes I made were to use ground turkey instead (I couldn't find ground chicken anywhere that night), added corn to the ingredients, and kept the egg yolk.

I think the amount of ingredients added diluted all the seasonings. They are a little bland, but they are still good. I also have plenty of ingredients left over, which I froze and which my housemate will likely now use in Top Ramen.

You might be disappointed in me for saying this, but I think I'm going to stick with Ling Ling Potstickers from Costco. Unfortunately, I think, being German and Scottish void of any Asian descent, I just don't think I have the magic touch...
