  7. This recipe yields 2 dozen.
  8. Commnts: Use only pressed tofu, a product which is not water-packed, because it is very hard and dry to otherwise, the filling will be too wet. Pressed tofu should be so hard which you can easily dice it or possibly cut into thin strips. Pressed tofu can be found in natural food stores and Asian markets, but if you can't find it, use tempeh instead. You can make the pot stickers ahead and flash-freeze them for several weeks, or possibly dust with cornstarch, wrap in plastic and chill for several hrs. Frzn pot stickers can be cooked after partial thawing.
