Vegan Potstickers!

Hi Everyone! I am super excited about this post because I’ve been working on perfecting these potstickers for a really long time, and I finally have an exact recipe! Whoo! Here goes nothing!

For this recipe you will need: 

1. Beyond Sausage: So I tried this recipe with the hot Italian sausage and original, and I just think the hot tastes better. I love the spice it gives off, and I don’t think the potstickers would be quite complete without it. I used 2 of these! Defrost if frozen and crumble into ground beef!

*A good alternative would be crumbled high protein tofu from trader joes marinated for 1 hour in trader joe’s soyaki and a pinch of smoked paprika (make sure to drain any excess marinade)

2. I used these won ton wrappers but you can use any vegan wonton wrappers you can find!

4. Olive Oil

5. Two-Three cloves of Garlic and grated them on my cool little dohickey (I put 3 because I love garlic)

      6. 1-2 Tbsp grated or minced ginger (peel it first!) (1 tbsp only if you don’t like ginger all that much)

7. 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder

8. 1/4 tsp Powdered Ginger

9. 1/2 tsp black pepper

10. 1/2 cup Diced onion 

11. 1/2 cup Diced or Shredded Carrot

*Make sure your carrot and onion are even in amount!!

12. 1 cup of Trader Joe’s Cruciferous Collection (or Shredded Cabbage) 

13. 1/4 tsp of Sesame Oil

14. 1 tbsp Soy Sauce or Tamari

15. Chopped Green Onion

Instructions:

1. Heat a pan on medium heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil in it! Add 3/4 of your ginger and all your garlic, and fry until fragrant (be careful! Ginger looses its flavor if cooked for too long.)

2. Add onions and carrots and cook until onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.

3. Add the Beyond Meat, stir in the rest of your ginger, the powdered ginger, powdered garlic, and the pepper.

4. Stir in the cruciferous creations. You should end up with something that looks like this:

5. Place aside in a separate bowl and let cool! Don’t forget to turn off the burner!

6. Once your mixture has cooled grab a wonton wrapper. 

I was much too lazy to cut these into circles, but I got to pack TONS of filling inside of mine. Here’s a quick video on how to pleat them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl2BcOba3NU

You should end up with more than this, but this is a plate full: 

7. How to cook: Fry 5-7 pot stickers in some oil on medium heat (I used olive oil, but any oil will work)

8. Once they are browned almost all the way around and look quite solid, add some water and cover to steam for 30 seconds. 

Do this to all of them and you should be set! Here’s a photo of how mine turned out (:
