Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 cup extra-firm tofu, drained and crumbled
- 1 cup napa cabbage, finely chopped
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, napa cabbage, grated carrot, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly to combine all the filling ingredients.
Sprinkle cornstarch over the mixture and mix again until the cornstarch is evenly dispersed. This will help bind the filling together.
Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal. Pleat the edges if desired to ensure they are tightly sealed. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place pot stickers in the skillet, flat side down. Do not overcrowd; you may need to cook them in batches.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Once browned, pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the pot stickers to steam for about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue cooking until the water has evaporated and bottoms are crispy again, about 2 minutes. If necessary, add an additional tablespoon of vegetable oil for extra crispness.
Repeat the process with remaining pot stickers.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
