Vegetable Potstickers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and garlic and cook until leeks begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cabbage, vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger and cook, stirring, until cabbage is soft, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in the carrot. Allow the filling to cool.
• Transfer cabbage mixture to a mixing bowl and work together until fully incorporated. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• To make the potstickers, lay a wonton wrapper on the work surface and put about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Dip your finger in a little water and wet the edges of the wonton wrapper; this will help the potsticker seal when cooking. Bring the outside edges of the wonton wrapper together over the filling and press it together to form a pouch. Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• To cook the potstickers, heat the remaining oil in a very large skillet over high heat. Place all of the potstickers upright in the pan and cook, without disturbing them, until browned on the bottom, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan and immediately cover. Allow the potstickers to steam for about 3 minutes, then remove the skillet lid. Continue cooking until the water is completely evaporated.
• Transfer to a platter and serve with the dipping sauce.
• Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Yield: about 1/3 cup

Steps:

• In a wok or large saute pan, add a little oil and saute onions and ginger.
• Add the mushrooms and stir.
• Add the cabbage, carrots and chives.
• Season.
• When mixture is soft, place in colander to drain.
• Add the sesame oil and cilantro when mixture is cooled.
• Check for seasoning.
• Using the gyoza skins, make half moon dumplings keeping the bottom flat.
• In a hot non-stick pan, coat with oil and place dumplings.
• When bottom gets brown, add 1/4 cup of water and immediately cover.
• This will steam the dumplings.
• Carefully watch the dumplings and completely evaporate the water so that the bottom gets crispy again and sticks to the pot.
• Serve hot with soy sauce and vinegar for dipping.

Steps:

• Make the dipping sauce: in a medium bowl, add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, green onions, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes and whisk to combine.
• Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes.
• Add the asparagus, carrots, peas, and cabbage, and stir. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
• Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove the filling from the heat and transfer to a large bowl to cool to room temperature.
• Once the filling is cooled, add the chives, soy sauce, and sesame oil, and stir until well combined.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the vegetable mixture onto a gyoza wrapper. Dip your finger in water and run it around the edge of the wrapper.
• Fold in half and pinch together, pleating the dough as you go.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over low heat and add the dumplings. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until a crust starts to form on the bottom. Pour ¼ cup (60 ml) of water in the pan and cover with a lid. Steam for 6-8 minutes, then remove the dumplings from the pan.
• Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat and cook onions, ginger, and garlic until onions are translucent.
• Add mushrooms and bell peppers to the pan. Cook until mushrooms are soft.
• Add cabbage, carrots, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes and remove from heat. Set aside to cool completely.
• Once mixture is cool, add cilantro, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cooking sherry, and sugar. Mix well.
• Place a spoonful of the mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Dip your finger in water and run it around the edge of the dough.
• Fold in half and pinch together, pleating the dough as you go.
• Heat more oil in a large skillet and place dumplings in the oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until a crust has started to form on the bottom. Pour the water in the pan and cover with a lid. Steam for 6-8 minutes, remove the lid and remove from the pan.
• Enjoy!
