I enjoy having these potstickers as a late-night snack. They also work well as a quick appetizer for family parties. —Carolyn Turner, Reno, Nevada

Ingredients

3/4 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2-1/4 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
24 pot sticker or gyoza wrappers
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 teaspoons sesame or olive oil, divided
1/2 cup water, divided

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Place 1 tablespoon beef mixture in center of each pot sticker wrapper. (Cover wrappers with a damp towel until ready to use.)
2. Moisten wrapper edges with egg. Fold wrapper over filling; seal edges, pleating the front side several times to form a pleated pouch. Stand pot stickers on a work surface to flatten bottoms; curve slightly to form crescent shapes, if desired.
3. In a large skillet, heat 1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil over medium-high heat. Arrange half of the pot stickers in concentric circles in pan, flat side down; cook 1-2 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Carefully add 1/4 cup water (water may spatter); reduce heat to medium. Cook, covered, 3-5 minutes or until water is almost absorbed and filling is cooked through.
4. Cook, potstickers, uncovered, 1-2 minutes or until bottoms are crisp and water is completely evaporated. Repeat with remaining pot stickers.
