Vegetarian Gyoza

1/2 head of diced cabbage
2-3 stalks of diced green onions
1 raw egg
4-6 oz mushroom, sauteed
3 tsp red pepper or chili powder
3 tsp minced fresh garlic or garlic powder
3 tsp salt/pepper
1 block hard tofu, drained and pressed
50-100 gyoza wrappers
oil

1. Put cabbage, green onion, egg and tofu in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
2. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Wrap gyoza: place a teaspoon of mixture in the centre, folding up the two opposite sides and then press the edges together firmly so the mixture cannot spill out.
4. For best taste, cook on a lightly-oiled teflon pan until browned. Then add about a cup of boiling water, cover and steam for another 2-3 minutes or until the water is gone.
