A Yummy Weekend...

After eating out for the first part of the weekend, Matt and I got the itch to cook some deliciousness today. First, we made Reubens. I had never had this famous sandwich....and boy howdy what was I waiting for?! Mine (pictured) didn't have any cheese or thousand island dressing but Matt's did. Vegan mayo, seitan and saurkraut on rye bread and grilled--Yum!!
When we spotted these Gyoza (vegan!!) wrappers in the grocery store, we knew we had to have potstickers. The filling is mushroom, green cabbage, garlic, and scallion sauteed together with some soy sauce, ground ginger, sesame oil, and hot pepper flakes. Top each defrosted wrapper with about 2 teaspoons of the filling, run a little water around the edge then pinch the dough together to form a little purse. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet and fry the bottoms of the gyoza until golden brown. Pour in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water (depending how many potstickers you're making), cover and let steam for 4-5 minutes.

These were AMAZING! I could have eaten a hundred of these. Matt mixed up a little dipping sauce of soy sauce, brown sugar and dried ginger sprinkled with scallions. Make these now!!

Like Ruben Studdard, this is my sorry for eating 4 (Reubens).
