My latest snack obsession
SNACK TIME!
I don't know if everyone goes through phases like I do, but I am in my 'Pork potsticker' phase right now. I have one of these about every day. Sometimes every other day, but mostly everyday. I am addicted. But, alas, I am not worried - cause 'this too shall pass'. Like my obsession with PB&J when I was pregnant with my middle child and hot dogs with my first born. This time I am not pregnant (at least I hope not - honey,are you reading this?). However, I think this bout of snack related fixation will be over soon. I am quickly growing tired of the whole thing. But until then, I will revel in it's simplicty. Open box, put potstickers in pan, pour in water and oil, cover and cook for 8 min. Not rocket science.
See, here's the lid. Now they will steam. And while they are cooking away, I like to put the sauce packet beside the burner to defrost. After 8 minutes, I take off the lid and let them start to crisp up; flipping them when they brown. Then we turn them out onto a plate, pour the sauce and enjoy.
In about 12 minutes it is all done and ready to enjoy. Please imagine me eating these on good china. I should be ashamed of myself and have more respect for my little friends. But the truth is I am just too lazy to do more dishes! And believe me when I tell you it is more of a lunch meal than a small snack. But it does curb any asian flavored craving you might have. At least until your next run to the chinese restaurant in town.
