Hi i'm new

[Guest guest]

I'm Michelle and I'm new. I recently became a vegetarian last august and I'm

loving it! I've been cooking for a while but just recently started coming up

with my own recipes.

 

Here's one I came up with recently, the measurements are guesses so feel free to

change amounts

 

Cabbage Potsticks

 

1/2 bag of coleslaw mix (green and red cabbage with carrots) or 2-3 cups

6 mushrooms, chopped fine

1/2 cup cashews, chopped

1-2 tsp soy sauce

ground ginger 1 tsp

1-2 tsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp onion powder*

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes/ground red pepper/sriracha (whatever you want just to

add a little spice)

salt & pepper to taste

1/2 package of wonton wrappers (just one big square, the packages I get comes

with two)

3/4-1 cup vegetable stock/broth

vegetable oil for frying

 

*optional: I haven't tried this but you could add some chopped onion and garlic

to the cabbage mix when you boil it and then omit the onion powder

 

Step 1: Put cabbage in pot and sprinkle some kosher salt, then add enough water

to cover about halfway up cabbage. Bring to a boil then simmer on low and cover

cooking until soft, about 5 minutes, adding more water if needed. Meanwhile chop

mushrooms and cashews

 

Step 2: Drain cabbage well to try and get most water off. Mix in mushrooms,

cashews, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt

and pepper. Taste to see if anything needs to be added.

 

Step 3: Make the wontons. Have a bowl of water available and put damp paper

towel over wrappers. Take one wrapper and rotate so its in a diamond shape. Put

about tsp of mixture in middle and wet the bottom two edges with water. Fold

over top edge to make a triangle, and seal edges, making sure to try and get out

most of the air. Then pinch/fold twice on either side of the triangle where the

seals are.

 

Step 4: Heat a pan, preferably one WITHOUT a non-stick surface on medium

heat.You might have to play around with the heat once you get cooking to get the

right amount of browning. Have your vegetable broth ready with 1/4 cup and a lid

for the pan. Once hot brush very lightly with oil. Then place wantons on,

pushing down so that the flat side sticks to the bottom of the pan. then leave

them for 2 minutes. DO NOT MOVE THEM. Then quickly pour 1/4 cup stock on, cover

with lid and turn heat down to low. Then let cook another 2 minutes. Then take

off lid and remover potstickers. Bottom should be dark brown and crispy but not

black. And you're done!

 

I hope this recipes works, its fairly experimental but its a good base recipe to

play around with.

let me know if there needs to be any clarifications or if you tried it and liked

it!

 

Thanks,

Michelle
