Ingredients

• 3 cups cabbage, shredded on large holes of box grater
• 8 ounces tofu (any firmness), crumbled
• 4 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 package of 50 dumpling wrappers
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1/4 cup cool water
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil, or more if needed

Directions

• In a large mixing bowl, add cabbage, tofu, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, basil and soy sauce. Mix well. Prepare the cornstarch slurry: whisk together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. To wrap: Place a potstickers wrapper flat in one hand. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the potstickers filling mixture in the middle of the wrapper. Dip a finger in the slurry mixture and paint along the outside of the wrapper. Fold over to a half-moon shape. Pinch along the outside of the wrapper to close the wrapper completely around the mixture.. Repeat until all potstickers are filled and closed. Lay folded potstickers in a single layer. Cover with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out. (See headnote re: freezing) When ready to cook, in a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add potstickers in a single layer along the bottom of the pan. Cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown the other side equally. Using the pan cover as a shield from splattering, add 2 tablespoons of water to the pan and cover immediately. Steam potstickers for 3-4 minutes. Uncover skillet, you should see almost all of the water has evaporated. Remove potstickers, then wipe pan dry with towel and repeat for remaining batches.
