1. In a cold pan, add enough oil to cover the bottom and place the potstickers flat-side down.
2. Add 1/4 inch of water to cover the potstickers and turn the heat to medium.
3. Once the water starts to boil, turn the heat to medium-low and let the filling cook through. This will take around 7-10 minutes (Tip: do not turn up the heat, or the potstickers will burn).
4. In a bowl, combine ingredients for a makeshift Mala Xiangguo Sauce.
5. When the potstickers are almost ready, pour in your sauce mixture and let it cook for around 3-4 minutes to let it soak in the sauce.
6. Serve and enjoy!
