Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 5 large shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup firm tofu, crumbled
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped shiitake mushrooms, crumbled tofu, and chopped green onions.
Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch to the vegetable mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.
Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
To assemble potstickers, lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal.
Repeat until all filling is used and potstickers are assembled.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Add potstickers to the pan in a single layer, flat side down. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Carefully pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan and immediately cover with a lid to steam the potstickers.
Reduce heat to medium and steam until the water has evaporated and the potstickers are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the lid and allow the potstickers to crisp up for about 1 minute.
Repeat the process with the remaining oil, water, and potstickers.
Serve the potstickers hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
