   powder.  Chill overnight.  In  a bowl, combine rice, tofu,
   mushrooms, basil, olives, chili pepper, sesame oil, and the
   remaining 2 tablespoons tamari.  Chill for 30 minutes.  Put 1
   tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.  Dampen edges
   with water, fold wrapper in half, and seal edges.  In a non-stick
   skillet, heat a little oil.  Arrange filled pot stickers in a
   single layer in the skillet; cook over medium heat until the
   bottoms of the pot stickers are browned.  Add 1/4 cup water; cover
   and cook on low heat for 6 minutes, or until water is evaporated.
   Repeat until all pot stickers are cooked.  Serve with dipping
   sauce.  Makes about 24 pot stickers.
