Default Potstickers, minor clarification

What's the minor clearification part?


BTW, a Chinese classmate made it in fron of me using ground meat mixed
with star anise and some spice from China,robably chinese five spice.
She probbaly left it overnight too. Mixed in with napa cabbage. I
don't remember ginger and garlic but yours sounds good.

She just steamed them.

Her dispping was soy sauce and olive oil witha touch of crushed
garlic and green oinions. I'll try yours. I have a bottle of sauce
which has pineapple as ingredients. It looks red. Forn dumlping, I was
told. I need to use that thing.
