Potstickers vs Wontons vs Gyoza
Chinese potstickers, wontons, and Japanese gyoza are all popular Asian dumplings, and the names are often used interchangeably in the U.S. For example, Trader Joe’s sells “pork gyoza potstickers.”
• Potstickers are Chinese dumplings traditionally pan fried until crisp on the bottom.
• Wontons usually have thinner wrappers, less filling, and are often served in soup.
• Gyoza are Japanese dumplings inspired by Chinese dumplings (jiaozi), typically with thinner wrappers and finely chopped fillings.
