Have you ever made homemade dumplings? I will say it is quite the task but is very rewarding. You actually don’t need a lot of ingredients, just a lot of patience and strong hands. The great thing is you can make a bunch and freeze them!

Feel free to switch up the filling and add other veggies like edamame, cabbage, Broccoli, honestly the variations are endless.

Vegetable Dumplings


  • Author: meetmehtadev333@gmail.com

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cabbage or coleslaw of choice (napa, shredded blend) I used one from Trader Joe’scole slaw mixture
  •  cup carrots shredded or finely chopped
  •  cup mushrooms finely chopped
  •  cup extra firm tofu crumbled
  •  cup scallions thinly sliced
  • ½ tbsp sambal or siracha
  • 2 tsp garlic finely minced or grated
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 2 tsp soy sauce 
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil 
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 packet of nasoya dumpling wrappers

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, drizzle in some oil, add the cole slaw carrots and mushrooms. Cook for 3-5 mins. Next add the tofu, garlic, ginger sambal and soy sauce. Next add in the scallions, toasted sesame oil and salt, pepper. Taste test and add salt and pepper accordingly. Cook on high heat for 3 mins and then turn off heat and let mixture cool for couple of mins.
  2. Using a circle cooking cutter or a glass cup, press down firmly on the wonton wrapper to create a circle shape. (This is if your wonton wrappers are square, if you have the ones that are already a circle skip this step.)
  3. Add about one teaspoon of the filling in the middle of your wrapper. Use your finger, dip it in bowl of water and moisten the outer part of the wrapper. This will act like the glue and help stick together when folding the dumpling.
  4. Fold the wrapper into the middle and starting in the middle, make 2 pleats on each side (right & left) using your thumb and index finger. Arrange the filling as you go by using your fingers if necessary.
  5. In a skillet or pan that has a lid, heat up some oil and place your dumplings flat side down and cook for a few minutes until golden brown at the bottom.
  6. Add water, close the lid, and steam them until the water has evaporated. Remove the lid and cook for a few more minutes until you have a crispy bottoms.
  7. Serve immediately with soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, duck sauce or any dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

  • Using pre washed & cut cole slaw mixture for this recipe will save you so much time and energy when making these dumplings.
  • Want to add different kind of protein into your dumplings? You can add finely minced or ground pork or chicken! Just remember adding any of these extra proteins will just result into adding a little bit more of the spices.
  • Mixing Sambal (chili pepper paste) with a little bit of soy sauce and thinly sliced scallions is a great home made dipping sauce.
  • Dumpling wrappers are found in any refrigerated section, usually where the package tofu is. I’ve been using the same brand for many years, they are the only wrappers I have found that not only are easy to work with but also have a clean ingredient list compared to many others. Even though I cant seem to ever find the circle ones, I usually just use a glass or round cookie cutter to get them in a circle. You can also use kitchen sheers and cut them into rounds.
