Ingredients:
Dumplings:
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup oyster mushrooms, chopped
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup cabbage, shredded
- 1/3 cup carrots, shredded
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice wine vinegar

Dipping Sauce:
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp scallions, thinly sliced
- pinch of black sesame seeds
- pinch of Togarashi chili powder (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat vegetable and sesame oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add chopped onion. Cook for 3 minutes.
2. Add oyster mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add minced ginger and garlic and cook 2 more minutes. Add cabbage, carrots, scallions, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and mix well. Cook for 8 minutes.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste and spoon filling into a bowl. Cool filling for 15 minutes.
4. Fill each wonton wrapper with 1 teaspoon of the filling. Use water to wet the edges of the wonton wrapper. Bring all 4 corners of the wrapper together and press the edges together to seal tightly. You can also fold the wonton wrapper in half diagonally for an easy way to wrap the filling.
5. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Drop dumplings into the water a few at a time and cook for 1-2 minutes. Drop dumplings into cold water and drain.
6. For the dipping sauce, mix all ingredients together in a small bowl.
