Pot Stickers (Vegetarian)

Submitted by BigRedDot

I've made well over 1000 of these in my life, and they are always a hit. Serve these with Peanut Dipping Sauce, for instance.

Ingredients

 * pot sticker wraps
 * 1/2 cup cooking sherry
 * 1 small minced onion
 * 1–2 cups thinly sliced purple cabbage
 * 2–4 cloves crushed garlic
 * 1 tbsp. minced ginger
 * 1–2 cups minced celery
 * 3 minced scallions
 * 4 tbsp. minced cilantro
 * 8 oz. button or crimini mushrooms. coarsely chopped
 * 3 tbsp soy sauce
 * 2 tsp. salt
 * peanut oil, sesame oil for frying pot stickers

Preparation

 * 1) Heat sherry in a wok or frying pan over medium heat. Stir fry onion and cabbage until limp.
 * 2) Add remaining pot-sticker ingredients. Cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes.
 * 3) Remove mix from heat and place in a colander to drain excess moisture.

Directions

 * 1) Use a wetted finger to wet the edge of each pot sticker wrap. Place a spoonful of mixture on each potsticker wrap, then fold over into a half moon shape. Pinch edges to seal.
 * 2) Heat a few tablespoons peanut and sesame oil in a large frying pan. Cook pot stickers until the bottoms are brown and crispy. Add 1/2 cup water to pan and tightly cover immediately. Let steam for a few minutes until tops are tender.
