Heat 1–2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick or skillet over medium heat
Place potstickers in a single layer, flat side down
Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2–3 minutes
Add 1/4 cup water to the pan
Cover immediately with a lid
Steam until the water evaporates and the potstickers are cooked through, about 5–7 minutes
Remove the lid and let any remaining water cook off
Cook for 1 more minute to crisp the bottoms again
Transfer to a plate and serve hot
Serve with dipping sauce if desired
