A lot of the times when I would get home from school or anywhere I would usually be hungry for a snack, and that snack would be potstickers. I would come home pull out the pan put some oil on and get the pot stickers out and start cooking them. When I first started to cook them I would burn myself from the oil splattering everywhere and also I would burn them on one side. Things that wished I would have known is that
1. To watch them and turn them somewhat frequently until they are nice and crispy.
2. To use caution when pouring the water in because it will explode into a hot oily madness.
3. To follow the instructions instead of just estimating and trying to wing it.
Those three things will help you make your potstickers very delicious and enjoyable. I hope these three things that I have shared with whoever it may help, helps you.
Here is a link to a recipe for Ling-Ling Potstickers, the same type I use:
