Ingredients

  • Filling:
  • A generous cup of plant-based beef crumbles
  • Finely chopped napa cabbage leaf
  • A drizzle of soy sauce for flavor
  • Diced green onion adding a touch of freshness
  • A hint of chili garlic sauce for a kick
  • A dash of sesame oil for depth
  • Seasoned with a sprinkle of salt and a grind of black pepper
  • Neatly packed into 12 potsticker wrappers
  • Cooked to perfection in 2 tablespoons of fragrant peanut oil
  • Moistened with a quarter cup of water

Step 1

Combine the meatless beef crumbles, crunchy napa cabbage, savory soy sauce, fresh green onion, spicy chili garlic sauce, aromatic sesame oil, and a dash of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl to create a flavorful filling.

Step 2

Take a dollop of the mixture and place it at the center of each pot sticker wrapper. Dab a bit of water along the edges of the wrapper, then fold it over to seal in the delicious filling. Press the edges together firmly to ensure a tight seal.

Step 3

In a nonstick skillet, warm up some peanut oil over medium-high heat. Gently place the potstickers in the skillet with the flat side down and let them sizzle until they turn a lovely golden brown, which usually takes about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the potstickers over and add a quarter cup of water to the skillet. Cover with a lid and let them simmer for around 5 minutes. Remove the lid and allow the remaining water to evaporate, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the potstickers are perfectly cooked.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. After making a batch of savory plant-based potstickers for your meat enthusiast friends, the first step in ensuring they stay fresh is to store them in an airtight container. This will help maintain their flavor and prevent them from going stale.
  2. 2. To give your potstickers some extra protection in the freezer, consider wrapping them individually in parchment paper before placing them in a resealable freezer bag. This way, you can easily take out just a few at a time for quick and convenient meals.
