Ingredients

• 20 Wonton wrappers
• 1 cup (shredded) Cabbage
• 0.5 cup (grated) Carrot
• 0.5 cup (finely chopped) Mushrooms
• 2 stalks (chopped) Green onions
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon (grated) Ginger
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (for dipping)
• 1 teaspoon Honey (for dipping)
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (for dipping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the dumpling filling.

Step 2

Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper over the filling into a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. Optionally, pleat the edges for decoration. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 4

Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the dumplings, flat side down, in a single layer without overcrowding.

Step 5

Cook the dumplings for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms turn golden brown.

Step 6

Carefully pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the dumplings steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the wrappers are fully cooked and the water has evaporated.

Step 7

Remove the lid and allow the dumplings to crisp up slightly for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer the cooked dumplings to a plate and repeat with the remaining dumplings, adding more oil and water as needed.

Step 8

To make the dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and red chili flakes (if using) in a small bowl. Stir well.

Step 9

Serve the pan-steamed vegetable dumplings warm with the prepared soy dipping sauce on the side.
