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:

• 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.

• Serve with dipping sauce.
• Combine all.

Steps:

• Make the hot water dough: In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, combine the flour, salt and two-thirds of the boiling water. Mix on medium speed while slowly adding the remaining water until well mixed and a ball is formed and the dough is not too hot to handle, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a little flour if it gets too wet.
• On a floured surface, knead the dough until it becomes a smooth, elastic ball. Place back in the bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rest for at least 1 hour.
• Make the dumpling wrappers: Working on a floured surface with floured hands, roll out the dough to form a long 'noodle', 1-inch in diameter. Cut 1/2-inch pieces and turn them over so the cut sides are facing up. Flatten with your palm and roll out thin using a rolling pin. The dumpling wrapper should end up about 3 inches in diameter.
• Make the vegetarian filling: Heat the oil in a wok or large saute pan over medium-high heat, then saute the onions and season with a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon white pepper. Add the ginger and mushrooms and saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cabbage, carrots and chives and season to taste. When the mixture is soft, place in a colander to drain. Add the cilantro and sesame oil when mixture is cooled. Check for seasoning.
• Make the dumplings: Place a small mound of filling in the middle of the wrapper. (Be very careful not to touch the edges with the filling as this will impede proper sealing of the dumplings. Nothing is worse than dumplings breaking during cooking.) Lightly brush the top half edge with water and fold the wrapper in half to form a half moon shape. Starting on one end fold/pinch the wrapper tightly together. Proceed with this fold/pinch method until the dumpling is completely sealed. There will be approximately 7 to 10 folds per dumpling. Rest the dumplings with the folded edges straight up.
• Cook the dumplings: In a nonstick saute pan coated well with 1 tablespoon oil, place the pot stickers flat side down, turn the heat to medium-high and cook until the bottom is browned. Have pan cover ready, add 1/4 inch of water to the bottom of the pan and cover immediately. Be careful, the liquid will splatter! The water will steam the pot stickers. Check them in 5 minutes as more water may be needed. (Ideally, you add about 1/4 inch layer of liquid, depending on the size of the pan.) The trick here is that once the dumplings are firm and fully cooked the water will evaporate and the bottoms will crisp-up again. You can listen to the point no water is left, that is when you can take the lid off.
• Make the dim sum dipper: Combining all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Serve with the pot stickers.

Steps:

• Note: If the Wonton Wrappers are a large size (5x5 inch) then cut into 4 equal squares. For Cornstarch water add 1 cup water to 1/2 tablespoon Cornstarch.
• Heat the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, cabbage, vinegar, carrots, ginger and a pinch of Salt and Pepper and cook, stirring, until cabbage is soft, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Add the Tamari and the other 2 Tablespoons of Toasted Sesame Oil Mixture together with the Crumbled Tofu, making sure it is completely mixed together. Add The Tofu to the Cabbage Mix in the Pan and cook for another 3-4 min on Med. High. Then toss it altogether in a bowl with cilantro and allow it to cool (Mix Well).
• To make the potstickers lay a wonton wrapper flat and put about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center. Dip your finger in the Cornstarch water and wet the edges of the wonton wrapper; this will help the potstickers seal when cooking. Bring the outside edges of the wonton wrapper together at a point in the middle over the filling and pinch it together to form a pouch. Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• To cook the potstickers, heat the sunflower oil in a large Non-Stick 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. Be careful it might splatter. Allow the potstickers to steam for about 3 minutes, and then remove the skillet lid. Continue cooking until the water is completely evaporated.
