Best Vegetarian Pot Stickers

Recipe #32783 | 1½ hours | 30 min prep | add private note

By: Izzy Knight
Jul 1, 2002

If you like Chinese dumplings, these vegetarian pot stickers will blow your mind!! They are very easy to make (contrary to what people may think) and dumpling skins are available even in Western supermarket now. This recipe should use up one package of round dumpling skin and enough to serve a big crowd as appetizers. You can make these dumplings way ahead of time and defrost and pan-fry them just before serving. A recipe by Ming Tsai.

Really, really good! Loved by kids and adults. I read most of the previous reviews before cooking and am glad I did. As always the reviews provide very valuable advise. Combining all of the advise this is what I ended up doing: I finely chopped all ingredients instead of shredding as it makes the mix more manageble. I used 1 cup of red onion which was 1/3 large red onion. I used 2 cups of shiitake mushrooms. I added 2 cloves of garlic. I used 1/2 tsp black pepper and the mix was fairly spicy. I used green onions instead of chives. I added a bit (1-2 tsp) soya sauce to the mix. I ended up with 41 pot stickers. The prep time is quite a bit longer than listed, 60 min instead of 30 min and I work pretty fast. Assembly of the pot stickers is easy, just wet the wonton wraps along the edge with water and crimp with a fork. I made them into 1/2 moon shapes, but I guess you can also make them look like wontons in a wonton soup, more like a pouch, see one of the pictures. Cooking was fast, approx 1 min to brown and 2-3 min of steaming. I did flip them over after steaming to make them brown on both sides. I served with a sauce of soya and sesame oil. Thank for sharing this great recipe. I will be making these often.

    OH. MY. GOD. Can I just say that BF and I just gobbled up ALL OF THESE!?!?!?! Granted, we hadn't eaten all day but WOW, I think I won't have my cholesterol checked this week like I'd planned These were WONDERFUL! Really great! Be sure to really slam that lid down right away when you're throwing the water in the pan so you don't get completely covered with boiling grease! Also, I couldn't find shiitake mushrooms at the normal grocery store and the ethnic ones were all closed so I just used normal raw sliced mushrooms. Didn't have chives or garlic sprouts either, so I just used green onions! These are PHENOMENOL--served with sushi and some hoisin and S&S sauce as condiments.

    These were very good. I love vegetarian pot stickers, and they are so hard to find in restaurants. It is really worth finding the shiitake mushrooms for this recipe. They give it a great flavor. I added a little soy sauce to the mix. I may add a little fresh minced garlic next time. Thanks for a great recipe. I will be making these often!
