Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups butternut squash, diced
  • 1 1/5 cups fresh or thawed edamame, shelled
  • 3/4 cup corn
  • 3 1/4 cups textured vegetarian protein, diced (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Shiitake mushroom seasoning
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 of 1 14-ounce package of silken tofu
  • 1 pack of gyoza dumpling wrapper
  • 1 tablespoon oil, for pan-frying
  • 3/4 cup water

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Chili sauce, to taste

Preparation

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil at medium heat in frying pan.
  2. Add butternut squash, edamame, corn, textured vegetable protein (optional) and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
  3. Add salt, Shiitake mushroom seasoning, pepper, sesame oil, and soy sauce, and stir-fry for another minute.
  4. Add tofu and mash with fork into the rest of the ingredients. For a smoother texture, you can transfer all the ingredients along with the tofu into a food processor and pulse a few times to dice it up a little (optional).
  5. Place 1 tablespoon of filling onto center of a gyoza wrapper. Moisten edges with water. Fold in half, pleat, and press to enclose the filling into a pleated crescent shape.
  6. Place the finished dumplings on a plate lined with cling wrap (to avoid the bottom sticking to the plate).
  7. Mix some soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili sauce in a small bowl to create dipping sauce.
  8. Heat up non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the dumpling one at a time, placing the sealed edges up.
  9. Fry the dumplings until golden brown at the bottom.
  10. Add 3/4 cup water into the pan and cover it immediately. Let the water bubble dry for about 5 minutes. After the water is gone, remove the lid, and fry for another minute until the bottoms are brown and crisp.
  11. Remove and serve immediately with dipping sauce.
