Vegetable Potstickers

I found this easy vegetable potstickers recipe from Ming Tsai on the Food Network site and couldn’t wait to make them. It was a bit time-consuming, but so worth it because they turned out fantastic. To save time for dipping sauces, I used our potsticker dipping sauce and sweet chili sauce, which I already had in the refrigerator. My whole family really loved these potstickers, especially my daughter, who could have eaten the whole batch by herself. I served these vegetable potstickers, along with Asian-style pork chops and sesame green beans, for a healthy, delicious dinner. I highly recommend this recipe.

Vegetable Potstickers:

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil, more as needed
• ½ small red onion, diced
• 1 cup shitake mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup of white savoy cabbage, chopped finely
• 1 cup of carrots, shredded
• ¼ cup of chives, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• Sea salt and white pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro
• 20 round gyoza wraps
• Olive oil cooking spray
• Water

How to Make Vegetable Potstickers

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it is hot, add the onion and mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Add the cabbage, carrots, chives, ginger, and garlic. Season with sea salt and white pepper, to taste, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Taste and re-season if needed. Set aside to let it cool. Once the mixture has cooled, add the toasted sesame oil and cilantro, then mix well.

Spread the potsticker wraps out onto a piece of parchment paper.

Scoop a small teaspoon of filling onto the center of each wrap.

Wet the top of each potsticker wrap with a baster brush dipped in water.

Fold the potsticker in half to create a moon shape, and pinch shut with 3 to 4 pleats along the side. Really make sure they are sealed, so the filling doesn’t fall out. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up.

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Once the pan is HOT add the potstickers, and cook until the bottoms are browned, about 3 minutes.
