Pan-Fried Potstickers (锅贴) in Kinmen (金門) include a documented version at Chenggong Potsticker Restaurant (成功鍋貼館) in Chenggong Village (成功村). A 2011 Kinmen Daily (金門日報) feature describes dumpling-shaped potstickers with a crisp base and an attached layer of egg.

A chewy wrapper and egg underneath

Writer Xu Zhengxiong (徐正雄) records a thick, chewy wrapper and a crisp underside. The egg layer beneath the dumplings adds another aroma and texture to the pan-fried food.

Dumplings cooked in a shared batch

During the recorded visit, the shop explained that its cooking method required a batch of thirty. The writer ordered ten and shared the batch with two diners ordering twenty. This describes the shop's practice observed in 2011, when several customers' portions cooked together in one pan.
