• 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 medium 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.

Steps:

• In large skillet or a wok heat the vegetable oil until hot. Add the shrimp, onion, carrot, cabbage and mushrooms and quickly stir fry while combining the ingredients. Add the pepper flakes, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar, adjust the seasoning and pour out onto a cookie sheet to cool. When the mixture is cool, begin making the potstickers. Lay out one wonton, brush the edge with water and put 1 teaspoon of the filling into the middle of the wonton. Fold the edge over on the diagonal to form a packet. Trim the edges to eliminate any square corners. Dust the finished potstickers with a light coating of cornstarch to prevent sticking before cooking. Potstickers may be frozen at this point.
• Using a bamboo steamer over a wok or pot, heat 1 cup of water to a boil. Place the potstickers in the oiled steamer basket and steam them until the dough becomes translucent, about 3 minutes. Remove from the basket and proceed to the skillet cooking process.
• Heat a non-stick skillet with 3 tablespoons vegetable oil. When the pan is hot, add enough potstickers to cover the bottom of the pan, but do not crowd them. Cook both sides until well browned and crisp. Continue in this manner until all of the potstickers are cooked. Keep them warm in a low oven while finishing the last batches. Serve with sweet mustard dip.
• Sweet mustard dip:
• Combine water, honey, vinegar, soy and mustard in a saucepan over low heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from the heat, let cool for several minutes until just warm and serve with potstickers.

Steps:

• Toss the cabbage with 1/4 teaspoon salt and let stand for 10 minutes. Add the cilantro, ginger, sesame oil, scallions and garlic and stir to combine.
• Fill a small bowl with water. Lay a gyoza wrapper on a work surface and spoon a scant tablespoon of the cabbage mixture into the center. Moisten a finger with water and rub it along the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over to make a triangle or half-moon shape, then seal with your fingers, trying to push out any air as you go. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Arrange the potstickers in the skillet in concentric circles and cook until the bottoms are light golden, about 2 minutes. Carefully add 1/4 cup water to the pan; cover and cook until the liquid has evaporated, the wrapper dough is tender, and the undersides of the potstickers are golden brown, about 6 minutes.
• Transfer the potstickers to a serving platter, crispy-side up, and serve with ponzu sauce.
