Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams extra-firm tofu
- 2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 100 grams shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 40 pieces pot sticker wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess water by wrapping it in a clean towel and placing a weight on top for about 10 minutes. Crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped shiitake mushrooms, green onions, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the vegetable mixture. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly combined.
Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each pot sticker wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger, then fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal, crimping if desired to ensure a tight seal.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange pot stickers in the skillet, seam side up, making sure they do not touch each other.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully pour in 1/4 cup of water and cover the skillet immediately with a lid. The water will create steam to cook the pot stickers. Reduce the heat to medium and let them steam for 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another minute to crisp up the bottoms.
Remove the pot stickers from the skillet and serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
