on Apr 22, 2017, Updated Oct 05, 2021 I first made these vegetarian gyoza popstickers filled with mushrooms, carrots and paneer when my friend Maggie, a food blogger from omnivores cookbook visited us a few years ago. She patiently answered all my 256 questions about how to make the perfect vegetarian gyozos and taught me how to wrap potstickers. Traditionally, gyoza popstickers are made with a filling of pork and cabbage filling, but I have adapted this recipe for my vegetarian friends here. But don’t worry if you’re a meat lover, because these veg gyozas have a lovely umami flavors and the mushrooms help mimic the texture of meat beautifully. Believe me, vegetarian or not, you’re going to love these popstickers! Here’s everything Maggie and I made cooked up when she was visiting us.

Top Tips To Make The Best Vegetarian Gyoza Potstickers
Cut all the ingredients for the filling as evenly as possible. This will help everything cook evenly and deliver the best flavor and texture. Even though the filling can be customised based on what you have available, I would recommend using vegetables with a lower moisture content. This will prevent the gyoza skin from becoming soggy and breaking apart. This is a super meal-prep friendly recipe as gyoza freezes really. I usually make a big batch and store them in ziplock bags in the freezer. These last up to 3 months and can be simply taken out of the freezer and cooked whenever the cravings strike; no defrosting needed. This recipe is naturally vegetarian, but you can easily make it vegan by replacing paneer with tofu.
