2 parts scotch, 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar worked out surprisingly
well in a pinch. But sherry or sake is of course superior.

      Title: Shrimp & shiitake Potstickers W/chili Oil And Cabbage
 Categories: Appetizers, Salads, Shrimp, Chilies
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
    1/4 lb Shiitake mushrooms, stems
           -removed, caps cut in half
           -and then cut
           Crosswise into thin slices
      2    Scallions including green
           -tops, minced
      2 tb Chopped cilantro
      1 tb Minced fresh ginger
      6 tb Cooking oil, more if needed
      3 tb Soy sauce
    1/2 lb Medium shrimp, shelled and
           -chopped
    1/4 ts Salt
     36    Round gyoza or wonton
           -wrappers
      1    Egg white, beaten
      1    Head napa cabbage, cut into
           -2-inch squares
      4    Carrots, cut into
           -2-inch-long matchstick
           -strips
      2 tb Rice-wine vinegar
      1 tb Vietnamese chili sauce
      2 ts Honey
      2 tb Chili oil
  
  Heat the oven to 350. In a medium bowl, toss the shiitakes with the
  scallions, cilantro, ginger, 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil and 1
  tablespoon of the soy sauce. Spread the mixture on a small baking
  sheet and bake until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer
  the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl and let cool. Stir the shrimp
  and salt into the mushrooms.
  
  Lay a few of the gyoza or wonton wrappers on a work surface. Put about
  1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each. Brush the edges
  with egg white and fold in half, pleating the edges as you go. Put the
  potstickers on a baking sheet lightly dusted with flour and repeat to
  make 36 potstickers.
  
  In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil over
  moderately high heat. Add half the cabbage. Cook, stirring
  occasionally, until lightly browned and just beginning to wilt, about
  3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add another tablespoon oil to the pan.
  Cook the remaining cabbage. Remove. Add another tablespoon oil and
  cook the carrots until they begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Add to
  the cabbage.
  
  In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce,
  the rice-wine vinegar, Vietnamese chili sauce and honey. Add this
  mixture to the cabbage and carrots and stir to combine.
  
  Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons
  cooking oil in a medium frying pan. Put 6 potstickers in a strainer
  and immerse them in the boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and
  add the potstickers to the hot frying pan. Be careful, the oil may
  spatter. Cook the potstickers on both sides until brown, about 2
  minutes in all. Transfer the potstickers to a baking sheet and keep
  them warm in a low oven while cooking the rest. Add more oil to the
  pan if necessary.
  
  Reheat the cabbage if necessary. Put a mound of the cabbage salad in
  the center of six plates. Arrange 6 potstickers around the salad and
  drizzle each plate with about a teaspoon of the chili oil.
  
  !Make It Ahead! Nearly all the work for this can be done in advance.
  The cabbage salad and the boiled potstickers can both be made a day
  ahead. Then, before serving, just reheat the cabbage and saute the
  potstickers for two minutes.
  
  Either a red or a white will go nicely with the complex flavors here;
  choose a simple, light-bodied bottle. One from the Cotes-du-Rhone
  region of France would be good.
