1 Nabisco 100 Cal Pack 2.50 (-1.00 Q)...

I decided since DH and I are on this Asian themed week of dinners,

I would try and make potstickers from scratch. So her is what I did:

Made the wrapper dough:
2 C Flour
1 C Boiling Water

Mixed the dough together then kneeded the dough for 5 min until smoth.

Mix the Filling:
I used ground chicken...
