VEGETARIAN POT STICKERS WITH HOMEMADE DUMPLING WRAPPERS

Time 2h

Yield 20 to 24 pot stickers

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the surface
1/4 teaspoon salt
About 1 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, plus more for sauteing
1 red onion, diced
Kosher salt and white pepper
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 cup diced shiitake mushrooms
1 cup shredded white cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup chopped garlic chives or chives
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 to 1 cup water
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sambal oelek
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Make the hot water dough: In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, combine the flour, salt and two-thirds of the boiling water. Mix on medium speed while slowly adding the remaining water until well mixed and a ball is formed and the dough is not too hot to handle, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a little flour if it gets too wet.
  • On a floured surface, knead the dough until it becomes a smooth, elastic ball. Place back in the bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rest for at least 1 hour.
  • Make the dumpling wrappers: Working on a floured surface with floured hands, roll out the dough to form a long 'noodle', 1-inch in diameter. Cut 1/2-inch pieces and turn them over so the cut sides are facing up. Flatten with your palm and roll out thin using a rolling pin. The dumpling wrapper should end up about 3 inches in diameter.
  • Make the vegetarian filling: Heat the oil in a wok or large saute pan over medium-high heat, then saute the onions and season with a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon white pepper. Add the ginger and mushrooms and saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cabbage, carrots and chives and season to taste. When the mixture is soft, place in a colander to drain. Add the cilantro and sesame oil when mixture is cooled. Check for seasoning.
  • Make the dumplings: Place a small mound of filling in the middle of the wrapper. (Be very careful not to touch the edges with the filling as this will impede proper sealing of the dumplings. Nothing is worse than dumplings breaking during cooking.) Lightly brush the top half edge with water and fold the wrapper in half to form a half moon shape. Starting on one end fold/pinch the wrapper tightly together. Proceed with this fold/pinch method until the dumpling is completely sealed. There will be approximately 7 to 10 folds per dumpling. Rest the dumplings with the folded edges straight up.
  • Cook the dumplings: In a nonstick saute pan coated well with 1 tablespoon oil, place the pot stickers flat side down, turn the heat to medium-high and cook until the bottom is browned. Have pan cover ready, add 1/4 inch of water to the bottom of the pan and cover immediately. Be careful, the liquid will splatter! The water will steam the pot stickers. Check them in 5 minutes as more water may be needed. (Ideally, you add about 1/4 inch layer of liquid, depending on the size of the pan.) The trick here is that once the dumplings are firm and fully cooked the water will evaporate and the bottoms will crisp-up again. You can listen to the point no water is left, that is when you can take the lid off.
  • Make the dim sum dipper: Combining all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Serve with the pot stickers.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 24 potstickers

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 leek, cleaned and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, pressed (or minced)
1/2 cup mushroom, finely chopped
1 head napa cabbage, finely shredded
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 medium carrot, finely grated
24 wonton wrappers
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 lemon, zest of

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of veg. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the leeks, garlic and mushrooms and cook until leeks begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add the cabbage, vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger and cook, stirring, until cabbage is soft, about 3-4 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in the carrot. Allow the filling to cool.
  • 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.
  • Transfer to a platter and serve with the dipping sauce. Enjoy!
  • Dipping Sauce:.
  • Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Yield: about 1/3 cup.

Tips:

  • To make the dumpling wrappers from scratch, ensure that the dough is well-rested before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and prevent it from tearing.
  • When filling the dumplings, don't overfill them, or they will be difficult to seal. Aim for about 1 tablespoon of filling per dumpling.
  • To seal the dumplings, wet the edges of the wrapper with water before folding them over. This will help to create a tight seal and prevent the dumplings from coming apart during cooking.
  • When cooking the dumplings, make sure that the water is boiling before adding them. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Once the dumplings are cooked, remove them from the water and drain them on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

These vegetarian pot stickers are a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their crispy wrappers and flavorful filling, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
