Ingredients

• 1 cup, finely shredded Cabbage
• 1 cup, grated Carrot
• 1 cup, finely chopped Mushrooms
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onion
• 1 tablespoon, low sodium Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 24 pieces, store-bought or homemade (made with no animal products) Dumpling wrappers
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, green onion, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 2

Prepare the cornstarch paste: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a smooth paste. This will act as a glue for sealing the dumplings.

Step 3

Assemble the dumplings: Lay a single dumpling wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons of the vegetable filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch paste using your fingertip or a brush. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Pleat the edges if desired for a decorative look. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

Prepare a steamer: Line the steamer basket or tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.

Step 6

Steam the dumplings: Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil and place the steamer basket over it. Cover and steam the dumplings for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.

Step 7

Serve: Remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve warm with soy sauce, chili sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
