Guotie (Chinese: 鍋貼; pinyin: guōtiē; literally: “pot stick”) is pan-fried jiaozi, also known as potstickers (a direct character translation) or ‘panstickers’ - in North America, or yaki-gyoza in Japan. They are a Northern Chinese style dumpling popular as a street food, appetizer, or side order in Chinese cuisine. This dish is sometimes served on a dim sum menu, but may be offered independently. The filling for this dish usually contains pork (sometimes chicken, or beef in Muslim areas), cabbage (or Chinese cabbage and sometimes spinach), scallions (spring or green onions), ginger, Chinese rice wine or cooking wine, and sesame seed oil.

Potstickers are called the gateway dumpling (for good reason), as they are present on many Chinese restaurant menus here in the U.S., and are even known as “Peking ravioli” in the Boston area!
