How do you cook your frozen dumplings?

The owner of the Asian market where I buy frozen potstickers taught me that the best way is to lightly oil a frying pan, then place the frozen dumplings into it, the flattest side down, on medium/medium high heat. Once you can see/smell that they are starting to color, add water to 1/4" depth, cover it, and listen until you hear the sizzle which tells you the water has all evaporated and the bottoms are properly browned.
