Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 100 grams Edamame (shelled)
- 1 medium Carrot
- 100 grams Green cabbage
- 3 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 24 pieces Gyoza wrappers (vegan)
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Press the tofu for 10-15 minutes to remove excess water. Crumble it into small pieces.
Steam the edamame for 3-4 minutes until tender, then finely chop or blend in a food processor until slightly chunky.
Finely shred the carrot and cabbage. Thinly slice the scallions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tofu, edamame, carrot, cabbage, scallions, garlic, and ginger. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well to form the filling.
Take a gyoza wrapper and place a small spoonful of the filling (around 1 teaspoon) in the center. Wet the edges with water and fold the wrapper into a half-moon shape, pinching or pleating the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the gyoza flat side down in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and let the gyoza steam for 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms.
Transfer the gyoza to a serving plate and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce mixed with a bit of rice vinegar and chili oil.
