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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Sauté the garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped mushrooms, cabbage, and grated carrot to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Crumble the drained tofu into the skillet, stirring to incorporate it with the vegetables.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Set out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the bottoms to crisp again.

Step 13

Transfer the potstickers to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining potstickers.

Step 14

Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
