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

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped shiitake mushrooms, crumbled tofu, and chopped green onions.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch to the vegetable mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 4

To assemble potstickers, lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Repeat until all filling is used and potstickers are assembled.

Step 7

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Add potstickers to the pan in a single layer, flat side down. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan and immediately cover with a lid to steam the potstickers.

Step 10

Reduce heat to medium and steam until the water has evaporated and the potstickers are tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the lid and allow the potstickers to crisp up for about 1 minute.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining oil, water, and potstickers.

Step 13

Serve the potstickers hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
