Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz extra firm tofu
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
- 1 cup green cabbage
- 1 large carrot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions
- 40 pieces wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place a weight on top and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Chop the shiitake mushrooms finely. Finely shred the cabbage. Grate the carrot. Mince the garlic cloves. Peel and mince the ginger. Slice the green onions thinly.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Sauté the garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms, cabbage, and grated carrot to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Crumble the drained tofu into the skillet, stirring to incorporate it with the vegetables.
Add soy sauce and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Let the filling cool for a few minutes.
Set out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it over the filling to form a half-moon shape, and press firmly to seal, crimping the edges if desired.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange half of the potstickers in a single layer in the pan.
Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes.
Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the pan and cover immediately with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce heat to medium and steam until the water evaporates, about 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the bottoms to crisp again.
Transfer the potstickers to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining potstickers.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
