Method
Combine the crumbled tofu, chopped shiitake, cabbage, spring onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and white pepper in a large bowl and mix well until evenly combined.
Place a small spoonful of filling in the centre of a gyoza wrapper, moisten the edge with water, fold in half and pleat the edge to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
Arrange the dumplings flat-side down in the pan in a single layer and fry for 2 minutes until the bases are golden brown.
Pour in the water, cover immediately and steam for 5 minutes until the wrappers turn translucent and the filling is piping hot.
Remove the lid and cook uncovered for 2 minutes until the water has evaporated and the bases are crisp again.
