HOW TO MAKE POTSTICKERS

How to make Potstickers. So I have this big addiction. I am addicted about frugality. I want to nail this frugal addiction so bad so that I can save  money for my daughter’s college tuition and for my son’s future tuition fees. Then there is our retirement… well, I will not talk about it for now because it is stressing me out, so let’s find comfort in this Potstickers.

Why am I talking about frugality and Potstickers at the same time? It is because I have made this Potstickers to save money. You see, my kids love Potstickers so much that they can devour 50 pieces in one seating.  For a while, I have been buying it from Costco since it is faster and convenient until I noticed that I am spending so much money for it. So I decided to make my own.

When you go to Costco, the Potstickers cost $14 for 13 pieces; and this  is only a 1 meal  for 4 people. But when you make your own Potstickers however, you will yield 36 pieces at the cost more or less $10.00.

Just mix all of the ingredients and let you hand get dirty in sealing the wrapper and VOILA, Posticker meal in its finest. You can make a huge batch and freeze them for future meal. Enjoy it, will yah?
