INGREDIENTS

GYOZAS

  • 1 block extra firm tofu, crumbled (no need to press)
  • 1 egg
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Blackstone Island Stir Fry Seasoning, to taste
  • Bachans Miso Japanese Barbecue Sauce, around 1/8 cup
  • Dumpling wrappers (round)

SLAW

  • 1/4 purple cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup carrot matchsticks
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste

DIPPING SAUCE

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp chili crisp
  • 1 tbsp water

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, combine all the slaw ingredients and set aside to marinate.
  2. Preheat the Blackstone flat top grill to medium-low and add oil.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the crumbled tofu, egg, chopped green onions, seasoning, and barbecue sauce. Add 1 to 1-1/2 tbsp of the mixture to each dumpling wrapper.
  4. Place the gyoza tacos on the grill, tofu side down, and gently smash them. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, then flip.
  5. Spritz water around the gyoza tacos and close the lid. If you don't have a hinged lid on your Blackstone, you can steam these under a large dome. Steam for 5-7 minutes or until the dumpling wrappers have softened.
  6. Top each gyoza taco with the prepared slaw and serve with the dipping sauce.
