75 gr daikon
2 gr shiso leaves
16 gr green onions
45 ml lemon juice
60 gr tamari
1 gr cumin seed
1 gr chili powder
60 gr brown rice
180 gr tofu

Instructions

Salad oil for frying For dipping sauce, combine tomato, daikon, shiso, green onions, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the tamari, the cumin, and chili powder. Chill overnight. In a bowl, combine rice, tofu, mushrooms, basil, olives, chili pepper, sesame oil, and the remaining 2 tablespoons tamari. Chill for 30 minutes. Put 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Dampen edges with water, fold wrapper in half, and seal edges. In a non-stick skillet, heat a little oil. Arrange filled pot stickers in a single layer in the skillet; cook over medium heat until the bottoms of the pot stickers are browned. Add quarter cup water; cover and cook on low heat for 6 minutes, or until water is evaporated. Repeat until all pot stickers are cooked. Serve with dipping sauce. Makes about 24 pot stickers.
