Best Vegetable Pot Stickers Recipes

VEGETABLE POT STICKERS

Steps:

• Heat 3/4 cup of the broth to boiling in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onion, celery, cabbage, mushrooms, gingerroot, and garlic. 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.

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.

VEGETABLE GINGER POT STICKERS

Steps:

• 1. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add sesame oil. When oil is hot add cabbage, carrots, scallions, garlic, ginger, plum sauce, soy sauce, honey, cilantro, zest and sesame seeds. 2. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until veggies are softened but not mushy. 3. Remove from heat and add tofu. With the tines of a fork, incorporate tofu until pea sized. 4. Refrigerate filling until chilled, 1-2 hours. 5. Lay wonton skins out and one at a time, moisten edges and fill center of each skin with 1 tsp of mixture. Fold skin in half forming a semi-circle. Starting at one end pinch edges closed with thumb and finger. 6. Heat 1 tsp oil in large sauté pan over medium-high until slightly smoking. Add 6 pot stickers at a time and lightly brown on each side. Lower heat and add 1/4 cup water, cover to steam pot stickers for 2 minutes. 7. Repeat with remainder of pot stickers. 8. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Yum.
