Meet your new weeknight hero: ultra-crisp potstickers with a lacy “skirt,” finished with Olive The World’s Toasted Sesame Garlic Ginger (Seed Oil) for big, toasty umami and a whisper of heat. The product page even calls out dumplings as a perfect pairing—so we’re leaning all the way in.

Why this works

• Flavor booster: The oil’s toasted sesame + ginger + garlic amplifies store-bought or homemade dumplings with restaurant-style depth. temp13.atlas-design.live
• Shatter-crisp skirt: A quick water-and-flour slurry steams, then crisps into a golden lace.
• Fast: From pan to plate in ~15 minutes.

Ingredients (serves 3–4)

For the potstickers

• 30 potstickers (fresh or frozen; any filling)
• 2 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Garlic Ginger (Seed Oil), divided
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp all-purpose flour
• Pinch of kosher salt

Scallion dipping sauce

• 3 Tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
• 1½ Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
• 1 tsp honey or sugar
• 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Garlic Ginger (Seed Oil)
• 1 scallion, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp chili crisp (optional)
• ½ tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Step-by-step

1. Make the slurry: In a measuring cup, whisk water, flour, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
2. Sear: Heat a nonstick 10–12″ skillet over medium-high. Add 1 Tbsp of the oil. Arrange potstickers flat-side down in a tight circle. Cook 2–3 minutes until the bottoms lightly brown.
3. Steam: Pour the slurry around (not on top of) the potstickers. It should surround them in a shallow pool. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and steam 5–6 minutes (8–9 if frozen).
4. Crisp the skirt: Uncover and cook 2–3 minutes more, letting the slurry evaporate and turn golden and lacy. Gently shake the pan—when the skirt releases, it’s ready.
5. Finish: Drizzle the remaining 1 Tbsp oil around the edge and over the dumplings; cook 30 seconds to bloom the aromatics. Slide the entire disc onto a plate, skirt-side up.
6. Sauce: Stir together all dipping sauce ingredients. Crack the skirt into shards and dip away.

Pro tips

• No nonstick? Add 1–2 tsp more oil and be patient before flipping—release comes with browning.
• Extra aromatic: Toss chopped scallions into the pan in the last 30 seconds.
• Make-ahead: Keep cooked potstickers on a sheet pan at 250°F for up to 20 minutes.

Easy wing variation (game-day fast)

The product page also suggests wings: toss cooked wings with teriyaki, then pan-fry with this oil to “kick up the flavor.” For ~2 lb par-baked wings, pan-fry 3–4 minutes in 1½ Tbsp oil, glaze with teriyaki, and finish with a final ½ Tbsp oil off heat. Sticky, glossy, irresistible.

What to serve with it

• Quick smashed cucumber salad with rice vinegar and a drizzle of the same oil.
• Steamed rice or sesame-sautéed greens.

Storage & reheating

Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days. Re-crisp in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat, 2–3 minutes per side. Avoid microwaving (it softens the skirt).
