New Year’s Veggie Pot Stickers

Ingredients

2 pkg gyoza wrappers

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 c chopped shitake mushrooms

2 c bean sprouts, chopped

3 c shredded cabbage

8 carrots, shredded

4 green onions, diced

1 Tbs ground tumeric

1 Tbs ginger, minced

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

Directions

1. Saute garlic about a minute. Add mushrooms, beansprouts, cabbage and carrots.  Saute until vegetables are softened and starting to brown… about 10 minutes.  Add green onions, tumeric, ginger, salt and pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes more.  Remove from heat and allow to cool.
2. Assemble pot stickers.  Place a small spoonful of the veggie filling in the center of the wrap.  Use your fingers to wet the edges of the wrap.  Crimp the edges together to form a half moon shape.
3. Once all the wraps are filled it is time to cook the pot stickers.  Heat up griddle or a flat-bottom pan.  Place the pot sticker on the griddle.  Make sure not to crowd them.  Allow the pot sticker to cook until the bottoms begin to brown… about 3 minutes.  Add 1/4 c of water.  Place a lid over the pot stickers and allow them to steam until the water is all gone… about 5-7 minutes.
4. Serve… we like to drizzle low-sodium soy sauce over the pot stickers.
