Ingredients:
For the Dumpling Wrappers:

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup warm water
For the Veggie Filling:

2 cups finely chopped cabbage
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave nectar
Salt and pepper to taste
For Cooking:

2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
Instructions:

Start by preparing the dumpling wrappers. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and warm water. Stir until a dough forms, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the veggie filling. In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped cabbage, grated carrots, chopped mushrooms, and chopped green onions to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup or agave nectar, salt, and pepper. Pour the sauce over the cooked vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into small balls, roughly the size of a walnut. Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin. Keep the rolled wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
To assemble the potstickers, place a spoonful of the veggie filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal, forming a half-moon shape. You can crimp the edges for a decorative touch if desired. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large skillet with a lid, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, arrange the potstickers in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully pour 1/2 cup of water into the skillet, then immediately cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potstickers steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the bottoms of the potstickers are crispy.
Transfer the cooked potstickers to a serving platter and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili oil, or a combination of both.
