Ingredients

• 200 grams firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or gluten-free soy sauce substitute)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 small zucchini, finely shredded
• 1 small carrot, finely shredded
• 50 grams cabbage, finely shredded
• 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
• 10 sheets rice paper wrappers (keto-friendly, made from coconut or low-carb alternatives)
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., avocado oil) for frying

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu for 10-15 minutes to remove excess water. Crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a fork.

Step 2

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 4

Add the shredded zucchini, carrot, cabbage, and green onion to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 5

Stir in the coconut aminos and season with salt and pepper (if needed). Cook for 1-2 additional minutes, then remove from heat. Allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 6

Prepare a clean work surface and a bowl of warm water for the rice paper wrappers.

Step 7

Dip one rice paper sheet into the warm water for about 5 seconds until softened but not overly sticky. Lay it flat on the work surface.

Step 8

Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of the tofu-vegetable filling into the center of the rice paper. Fold up the sides and roll tightly, similar to wrapping a burrito. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.

Step 9

Heat the neutral oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the dumplings seam-side down into the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Step 10

Serve the dumplings warm with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, such as a mix of coconut aminos, sesame oil, and chili flakes.
