Homemade potstickers from scratch

As you may be aware now, I’ve shared my passion and love for Asian food and luckily my family loves it too, especially potstickers. I’ve already shared some of my favourite recipes like this one, or this one, or this one.

One of the challenges here in Albania is finding pre-made wonton wrappers, because if you browse the internet all the recipes you can find call for store-bought wonton wrappers. Well, I guess it’s better this way, since I can make my own wrappers, and everything homemade is healthier than store-bought.

I am not too good rolling the dough ( because it has to be pretty thin), but since this summer I’ve bought a pasta machine, making my own wonton wrappers is even faster.
