With so many Chinese and Italian restaurants in and around NYC, I would think some innovative chefs would come up with a way to fuse these two great cuisines together.

I tried to go to a Mexitalian restaurant last weekend, but it had become Italian only a few days earlier.

That famous Italian merchant/explorer, Marco Polo, introduced the calzone to China back in the 13th Century. (He’s more famous for bringing back to Italy the Chinese recipes for pasta). Polo and Kublai Khan conducted boisterous calzone-eating parties in the Forbidden City, chugging the best Chinese equivalent of Chianti and pinching coy Temple girls’ bottoms.

I had frozen Trader Joe’s potstickers, chicken cilantro and Thai shrimp, for dinner with T.J’s gyoza sauce and I am still reeling from the delicious-ness of it all.

That looks fabulous, and Monterey Park is definitely the place to go for authentic Chinese food (used to work about 10 miles from there and would go there for lunch with Chinese coworkers). I’d go there now if it wasn’t in California.

I love gyoza.
Hint gyoza dipping sauce is just soy sauce and rice vinegar.
I like some wasabi in there too.

I feel a little bit dumb for saying it but I have no idea what a potsticker is.
I have heard the word before, just never knew exactly what it was.
I do know what a calzone is tho

I enjoy the TJ pot stickers as well. I especially like a honey mustard dip.

"What type of filling do you think would be in a Chinese version of a calzone?"That would probably depend on how authentic it really was. (Probably best not to go there.)

Think of a pot sticker as a chinese ravioli.

But steamed rather that boiled and then pan fried.
Chicken stock goes in the pan at the last minute to stop them from sticking to the pan.
