Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and shallots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cabbage and carrots until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Let cool completely. In a large bowl, combine mushroom mixture, water chestnuts, cilantro, egg, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. To assemble the potstickers, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mushroom mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.* Heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add potstickers in a single layer and cook until beginning to crisp on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Working quickly, add 1/4 cup water; cover and cook until liquid has evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are crisp and golden, about 3-5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Top with chopped green cabbage. Mix with fork until thoroughly combined. Tamp down lightly; cover with plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour.
- Place flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in hot water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a shaggy dough. Flour your hands and transfer dough to a work surface. Knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If dough seems too sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour, about 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic, and let it rest about 30 minutes.
- When dough has rested, divide into 4 equal pieces. Cover 3 pieces with a dish cloth while you work the first piece. Roll into a small log about the thickness of a thumb, about 3/4 inch. Divide each log into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin 3 1/2-inch circle on a lightly floured surface to form the pot sticker wrappers. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
- Lightly moisten the edges of a wrapper with your wet finger. Place a small scoop of the ground pork mixture onto the center of a wrapper. Fold up the 2 sides and pinch together in the center. Pinch together the remaining edges, forming "pleats" along one side. Tap the pot sticker on the work surface to slightly flatten the bottom; form a slight curve in it so it stands upright in the pan. Transfer to a well-floured plate. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Mix together seasoned rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl for the dipping sauce.
- Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Place about 6 or 7 pot stickers in the hot oil, flat side down. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in water and quickly cover the pan; steam for 3 minutes. Uncover; reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until water evaporates and bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer to a warm serving dish. Repeat with remaining pot stickers. Serve with dipping sauce.

BEST VEGETARIAN POT STICKERS
If you like Chinese dumplings, these vegetarian pot stickers will blow your mind!! They are very easy to make (contrary to what people may think) and dumpling skins are available even in Western supermarket now. This recipe should use up one package of round dumpling skin and enough to serve a big crowd as appetizers. You can make these dumplings way ahead of time and defrost and pan-fry them just before serving. A recipe by Ming Tsai.

VEGETABLE POT STICKERS
Steps:
- To prepare the pot stickers: Peel the onion, cut it in half, then cut it into thin slices. Cut the ends off the mushroom stems, discard, and cut the mushrooms into thin slices.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, ginger, and cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay a wonton wrapper on a work surface, dip your finger in water, and wet the entire edge of the wrapper. Place a small spoonful of the cabbage mixture in the center and fold the wrapper in half to enclose the mixture. Firmly press the edges to seal, and just before you seal it completely, push gently around the filling to remove any air pockets. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Lay the finished pot stickers on a baking sheet, keeping them separate so they don't stick together.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully lower a few of the pot stickers into the water using a slotted spoon and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove the pot stickers with the slotted spoon and place on the baking sheet.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place some of the pot stickers in the pan in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown on one side, then transfer to a serving plate and repeat the process with the remaining pot stickers.
- To prepare the sauce: Trim the green onions, discarding the ends, and cut the white and about 1 inch of the green part into thin slices. Place the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and canola oil in a small bowl and stir well. Sprinkle with the green onions.
- Serve the pot stickers hot, with the sauce alongside.
- food trivia
- Ancient Romans celebrated the medicinal qualities of cabbage. They believed that it should be eaten raw with vinegar. (Can you say coleslaw?) They also liked to make a poultice of raw cabbage paste, place it in a cabbage leaf, and wrap it around an inflamed area to reduce the discomfort. Maybe this worked because it smelled so bad people forgot about the pain.

Steps:

Cook 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently and adding more broth if vegetables begin to stick, until vegetables are tender; remove from heat. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Remove vegetable mixture from skillet. Wipe out skillet.
- Brush edges of 1 wonton skin with water. Place 1 heaping teaspoon vegetable mixture on center of skin. Fold skin in half over filling and pinch edges to seal. Make creases in sealed edges to form pleats on one side of each pot sticker. Repeat with remaining wonton skins and vegetable mixture.
- Spray skillet with cooking spray; heat skillet over medium heat. Cook pot stickers in skillet, pleated sides up, about 1 minute or until bottoms are light brown. Add remaining 3/4 cup broth. Cover and cook 5 to 8 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed.

Tips:
- Prep Your Veggies Right: Finely chop your vegetables so they cook evenly. Uniformly sized pieces ensure consistent texture throughout the pot stickers.
- Generous Seasoning: Don't shy away from seasonings. A flavorful filling makes all the difference. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and sauces to create a unique taste profile.
- Perfect Dumpling Wrappers: Use store-bought wrappers or make your own. If using store-bought, let them come to room temperature before use to prevent tearing.
- Seal Tightly: Ensure your pot stickers are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking. Use a fork or your fingers to press the edges together firmly.
- Crispy Bottoms: Heat your pan or skillet well before adding the pot stickers. This creates a crispy bottom while preventing the wrappers from sticking.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Cook your pot stickers in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking. Overcrowding can lead to soggy or undercooked pot stickers.
- Sauce It Up: Serve your pot stickers with a variety of dipping sauces to enhance their flavors. Soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, and sesame sauce are all popular choices.
- Garnish for Presentation: Garnish your pot stickers with chopped scallions, cilantro, or sesame seeds for a vibrant and appetizing presentation.
