4. [2:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=124s) Mix all-purpose flour, salt, and hot water in a bowl to form a shaggy dough.
5. [2:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=146s) Knead the dough on a work surface until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if sticky.
6. [3:17](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=197s) Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
7. [3:48](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=228s) Divide the rested dough into sections and roll each into a cylinder about the thickness of a thumb.
8. [4:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=251s) Cut the dough cylinders into smaller pieces and roll each into a small disc.
9. [4:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=261s) Roll out each dough disc to about three and a half inches wide.
10. [5:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=306s) Moisten the edge of the dough wrapper with water.
11. [5:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=312s) Place a scoop of meat filling in the center of the wrapper.
12. [5:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=318s) Fold and pleat the edges together to seal the potsticker.
13. [7:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=430s) Heat oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
14. [7:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=438s) Place potstickers flat-side down in the pan and fry for about two minutes until bottoms are golden brown.
15. [7:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=453s) Add a couple tablespoons of water, cover the pan, and steam for three minutes.
16. [8:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmM00YekMc&t=485s) Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until remaining water evaporates and bottoms are crispy.
