Chinese Potstickers

A few years ago, I visited Taiwan and got to try lots of different Asian foods.  Some of them were a little too much for my palate, but the one of the foods I remember loving was the potstickers (or dumplings) fresh out of a bamboo steamer.  One night we ate at a restaurant and I remember the waitress bringing stacks and stacks of bamboo steamers filled with all sorts of delicious foods and varieties of dumplings.

Traditional Chinese dumplings (aka potstickers) are made with ground pork, cabbage, green onion and round dumpling wrappers (gyoza).  I wanted to make ours authentic, but still keep it a little bit lighter and so I used ground turkey, and couldn’t find round wrappers so I used square.  I also love how many veggies you can pack into these.

In for a review is another Vegetarian Plus item, this time it’s Vegan Ginger Chicken. Not content with just serving it atop of a starch, I made spring rolls.

The lightness of the lettuce along with the refreshing flavors of mint, basil and cilantro contrasts nicely with the savory chewiness of the ginger chicken pieces. Made from soybean fiber and protein, the texture and taste of the mock meat is very similar to what you would find in a Chinese restaurant, but now available in the frozen food section.
