BUDDHA'S DELIGHT DUMPLINGS WITH GINGER-CHIVE PONZU

Steps:

• For the Buddha's Delight:
• Cover stir-fry vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water. Cook on HIGH for 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Add stir-fry vegetables, garlic, and cilantro. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Squeeze out excess moisture from cooled vegetable mixture and place in food processor. Add two egg whites and cornstarch. Pulse until mixture is finely chopped and holds together.
• Working in batches, lay out 6 to 8 gyoza wrappers. Lightly brush with the remaining 1 egg white and spoon 1 tablespoon of vegetable mixture in the center of each. Fold in half and press together to seal edges. Stand dumplings seam-side up by tapping on countertop. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Line bamboo steamer with a piece of parchment paper that has been cut to fit. Spray parchment lightly with cooking spray. Put 10 to 12 dumplings in steamer at a time. Place steamer over medium pot of boiling water. Steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
• For the Ginger-Chive Ponzu:
• In a small bowl, stir together all ponzu ingredients.
• Serve steamed dumplings hot with ponzu dipping sauce.
