Making pot stickers in the instant pot

I love, love, love pot stickers. I have shared several ways to make frozen pot stickers over the years, including how to make the best stove-top frozen pot stickers and how to air fry pot stickers. I thought it was about time to show you how to make instant pot pot stickers. 

Instead of going the frozen pot sticker route this time, I decided to show you how to make your own homemade pot stickers in the instant pot. I hope you enjoy them!
