Vegetable Potstickers
Ingredients:
– 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
– 1 medium carrot, grated
– 1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– Round dumpling wrappers
– Vegetable oil for cooking
– Dipping sauce of your choice
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, shiitake mushrooms, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and grated ginger.
2. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the vegetable mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated in the sauce.
3. To assemble the potstickers, place a small spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and press the edges together to seal, creating a half-circle shape. Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. To cook the potstickers, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place the potstickers in the skillet, making sure they are not touching each other. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
5. Carefully pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the potstickers to steam for 5-6 minutes or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
6. Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate. Let the potstickers cook for an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms.
7. Serve the Vegetable Potstickers hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and the satisfaction of having created a delicious, vegetable-packed dish!
