On Alan aka ha's recommendation, I picked up one of those
plastic dumpling makers. Specifically, the Joyce Chen
"Dumplings Plus" ... it looks to me like something that
should work, then you buy it and try it and toss it in the
trash because it's worthless.

I'll be darned, I made up a slew of potstickers with minimum
fuss and muss, usually that is one messy job.

Thanks, ha!
