Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
-
1/2 pound firm tofu
-
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
-
1/2 cup finely chopped bok choy
-
1/4 cup finely chopped water chestnuts
-
1/4 cup finely chopped bamboo shoots
-
1/4 cup finely chopped garlic chives
-
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
-
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 package potsticker or gyoza wrappers
-
2 tablespoons oil for frying the dumplings
Steps to Make It
-
Drain the tofu, cut into cubes and mash. Wash and prepare the vegetables. Combine the tofu with the remainder of the ingredients and seasonings.
-
Lay out one of the gyoza wrappers in front of you. Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
-
Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper.
-
Fold the gyoza wrapper over the filling and pinch the edges to seal it shut. (You may want to use a cornstarch/water mixture to make this easier).
-
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet or wok.When oil is ready, carefully add the dumplings and cook on high heat until golden brown (about 1 minute). Without turning the dumplings over, add 1/2 cup of water and cover. Cook for about 1 minute to cook the raw filling and then uncover and continue cooking until most of the liquid is absorbed.
-
Serve the potstickers with the burnt side on top, with potsticker dipping sauce or soy sauce mixed with minced ginger for dipping.
