THere was an episode of America's Test Kitchen where they made gyoza, er, potstickers... Didn't look too tough, but they made the wor tip-style ones, not the gyoza-style ones with the flat bottom that gets nice a crispy... :drooling:

Dang... I feel a gyoza night coming on. :beaten: :bonk:

It said bathe gyoza in rayu in order to eviscerate any toxins :P

Used to go to this great hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant in SF for potstickers and noodles, called Win's, on Taraval Street in the Sunset district. Very good duck too.

Went back there a few weeks ago, didn't recognize any of the staff, restaurant must have been sold. Food was no longer the same. Hate it when that happens.

Yup...once they change the staff at a favored restaurant it's practically like having the place close down.

Yup....actually has numerous health benefits....many naturopaths believe cayenne, which is loaded with the stuff, to be one of the most useful herbs in the world for medicinal purposes.

Yes I think it's a peach as well but I know exactly what you mean ;) I bet it would take me as long to make one maki as it did that chef to make the whole tray!
