Vegan Mushroom Potstickers

Makes 30 potstickers

Ingredients:

• 10 dried shiitake mushrooms

• 1 cup hot water

• 1 pound wild or button mushrooms, chopped

• 1 cup loosely packed shredded cabbage

• 1 bunch green onions, chopped (green and white parts)

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger

• 1/4 cup tamari sauce

• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

• Pinch of sugar or more to taste

• 30 round wonton wrappers

• 2 tablespoons canola oil, adding more if necessary.

Directions:

1. Combine shiitakes and water in a small bowl and set aside to rehydrate mushrooms, about 5 minutes. Drain and chop.
2. In a large bowl, combine shiitakes, fresh mushrooms, cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, tamari, sesame oil, and sugar.
3. Fill a wonton wrapper with a scant tablespoon of mushroom filling.
4. To seal, dip your finger in water and lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper and fold over to form a half-circle, pressing the edges together.
5. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
6. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 10 to 12 potstickers to skillet and cover with a lid.
7. Cook potstickers for 2 to 3 minutes each side, keeping skillet covered. Gently remove potstickers and repeat with remaining postickers, adding more oil if needed.
8. Serve potstickers warm with your favorite Asian dipping sauce.
