Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 small head Green cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 block Firm tofu
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil
- 0.5 cup Water (for cooking)
Instructions
Start by making the dumpling wrappers. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with boiling water using a wooden spoon until it's cool enough to handle. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Finely chop the green cabbage and carrot, and crumble the tofu. Mince the garlic and chop the green onions.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the cabbage and carrot to the pan. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crumbled tofu, green onions, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with a bit of water, fold it over the filling, and seal the edges tightly by pleating or pressing firmly.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the neutral cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the potstickers in a single layer, making sure they don't touch.
Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Allow the potstickers to steam and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid, let the potstickers crisp up slightly again for about 1 minute, and then remove from the skillet.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
