Ingredients

• 2 cups cabbage
• 1 cup carrots
• 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
• 3 stalks green onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 40 pieces store-bought vegan dumpling wrappers
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 cup dipping sauce of choice

Directions

Step 1

Finely shred the cabbage and carrots, chop the shiitake mushrooms into small pieces, mince the garlic and ginger, and slice the green onions.

Step 2

In a large skillet, add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and green onions to the skillet. Sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper to the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Prepare a clean workstation and set up your dumpling wrappers, a small dish of water, and the filling mixture.

Step 6

Place one dumpling wrapper in your hand. Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling to the center of the wrapper.

Step 7

Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half, pressing firmly to seal into a half-moon shape. Pleat the edges if desired. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.

Step 8

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the gyoza in a single layer, flat side down, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 9

Carefully pour 1/2 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Let the gyoza steam for 4–5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

Step 10

Uncover the skillet and continue to cook for an additional 1 minute to crisp up the bottoms.

Step 11

Transfer the gyoza to a plate and serve hot with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
