Thank you! It was probably my best iteration yet.
My next thought is about size. Can it be doubled? Tripled? Am I dreaming???

Temperature dropping in the 20’s at night . Found a packet of Taco Bell seasoning in the cupboard.
So its a deconstructed Bell Beefer from Taco Bell .I used to get the Bell Burgers from another place in high school. Looks like a knife and fork meal .Sautéed onions , cheddar cheese , lettuce with no tomato on white bread. Cheers.

Kind of an Indian Chinese style fried rice for dinner. Eggs, onion, shrimp, and green onion with leftover basmati rice. Added some turmeric powder, chili flakes, and black mustard seeds to bloom in the oil before frying.

Indulge me for a minute and excuse my officiousness, but I think you might even enjoy your potstickers (fresh, frozen or what-not) even more if you did not crowd the pan.
Just a humble word to the wise.

You betcha
Picked up an 8 oz filet today and some broccoli and was very close to making a standard steak-potato-vegetable meal but did not feel like the clean-up. So a one wok meal it was. I also had an Uncle Ben’s microwavable pouch rice (Jasmine) in the pantry which is usually kept as a last resort (I make great basmati rice). Well, tonight was my 14th lecture in 29 days so, yeah, last resort.
Steak was sliced and got the velveting treatment and a quick marinade of LS soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. Stir-fried with blanched broccoli, onion, green chili, and a stir-fry sauce.
Not a martini tonight, but a Manhattan. With Jack Daniel’s.

Making me feel like a slacker for buying those TJs potstickers every time I even think about making dumplings from scratch 
(Have you tried lacy gyoza yet? Love the crunch, and last time my pan was just as full as yours and the lace and the gyoza still worked out…)

Lol. If I could get decent frozen potstickers where I live, I’d buy them in a heartbeat. They would make a great reserve for when one is Old and Hungry. As it is, I can’t even find the wrappers here, which I would also buy if I could get them.
I got greedy last night and made a little extra in the batch. They just fit! To my credit, there wasn’t a scrap of either dough or filling left at the end - typically I’m left with a little of either (but not both).
I have not tried it with the lace, but I remember your photo! I was thinking about it last night, in fact. One of these days, I’ll give it a try.

You are pretty hard on yourself - that is a quality meal, packaged rice or not. Hardly a last resort which around here would be nuked rice with a fried egg on top, kimchi on the side if I am not on fumes. Your dinner looks great!!

Very nice
I found a bag of roasted eggplant cubes in the freezer yesterday so dinner was a SK recipe for Simple Eggplant Parm. I reheated the eggplant cubes in a 425 oven to dry them a bit, then layered with tomato sauce and cheese. A little bit of panko in there to emulate the breaded nature of a usual parm. Quite delicious actually. Served with green salad. I am usually not hungry for breakfast right away in the AM so am planning a mid morning reprise.
