Vegetarian Potstickers

in #food15 hours ago

Hi Friends!

I have moved most of the tropical plants from the greenhouse to basement. Many trees outside have no leaves by now. I am kinda sad to see how thriving my tearose this year and as it's growing tall and flowering here and there, we are closing in to the cold season already. I waited for so long for that tearose to shine. The only surviving tearose that I purchased a couple of years back 😅

I harvested a pumpkin 2 days ago. Heaps happy. I have 1 if not 2 more. Zucchini, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes are still growing like crazy inside the greenhouse. I dont feel like cleaning them up as they are still with green fruits. Let's see if they can produce or still good til (Canadian) Thanksgiving.

For today's recipe, one of our favorites at home. A quicky lunch if not dinner for us 😊

Looks so good!

love that you boil the soy sauce mix with sugar and chili. That little simmer definitley turns a quick fry into a sticky savory hug. The boil on the sauce give it a glossy kick. Blue oyster mushrooms in the filling are a clever move and the vermicelli keeps it tidy. Hope those cherry tomatoes sprint to Thanksgiving, my inner numbers guy is cheering.
