I'll freely admit right now I very much riffed. In fact I hardly used a recipe at all. I think potstickers (and fried rice) are freely used in China as ways to get rid of leftovers. It all comes back to the housewives.
For my Dough:
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup bread dough (for the extra gluten)
pinch salt
3/4-1 cup boiling water.
For my Filling:
A wedge of cabbage
A couple handfuls of spinach, wilted
Half a brick of tofu
Green onions
Garlic
Sesame oil
soy sauce
salt, pepper
A pinch of cornstarch to bind it up a bit.
You can go to Jen's post to learn the techniques needed.
Here are my fat chubbies, frying away. I added my water after this and covered the pan to steam 'em up.
Meanwhile I made dipping sauce.
Equal amounts soy sauce and rice vinegar. Some chili sauce (or chili oil) to taste.
Don't buy premade sauce. There is no point.
And Voila!
Why are they funny looking? I don't have a round cutter (does this shock you as much as it does me?) so I used a flower-shaped cutter.
They still taste good.
