Vegetable Potstickers a la Flambo

I’ve been wanting Potstickers for a while and decided to get my Flambo on and make them myself!!  My daughter, Flambina, kept the house from burning down during the cooking process while I stuffed and filled. Flambo!!

Potstickers 008

Vegetable Potstickers
oil for cooking
1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
1 tsp ground ginger 
2  cups 3- color coleslaw mix, pulsed through a food processor
1 cup shredded carrot
1 Tbl dried chopped chives
1 tsp 5 chinese spice
Sea salt to taste
4 turns of freshly ground multi-color peppercorns
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup water

1 package of square wonton wrappers

In a large pan, add a little oil and sauté onions and garlic and ginger.  Add cabbage, carrots and chives. Add seasonings and stir fry mixture until soft. Turn out into a bowl and let cool. I cooled in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Add Cilantro and mix well, using your favorite Pink Spatula.

Lay out one wonton wrapper and add a little less than a tablespoonful of vegetable filling to the center.

Wet the edges with water, fold over to form a triangle dumpling and press edges together.  Keep bottoms flat.

Coat the bottom of a non-stick skillet* with your favorite oil and add dumplings. Mine held about 10 at a time. Cook on a medium temperature until bottoms brown.

Add 1/4 cup water and quickly cover.  Allow to steam until water is nearly cooked out.

If you like both sides browned, turn the dumplings and cook for a couple more minutes,  or if you like your tops just steamed, just let the water cook out.  Continue cooking until bottoms get crispy again and sticks to the pot.

Remove to a plate covered with paper towels.
Enjoy.
*I do not own a non-stick skillet so I used my cast iron skillet.
