Ingredients

• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 1 medium-sized Carrot
• 1 small Red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium-sized Zucchini
• 50 grams Red cabbage
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 12 sheets Rice paper wrappers
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (optional, for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a fork.

Step 2

Peel and shred the carrot. Finely dice the red bell pepper and zucchini. Thinly slice the red cabbage and green onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

In a non-stick skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and mix well.

Step 5

Add the shredded vegetables (carrot, red bell pepper, zucchini, cabbage) and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until just tender. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 6

Chop the cilantro and mix it into the cooled tofu and vegetable filling.

Step 7

Prepare a clean flat surface for assembling the dumplings. Pour 1 cup of warm water into a large, shallow dish.

Step 8

Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable, then carefully transfer it to your work surface.

Step 9

Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the tofu veggie mixture onto the center of the rice paper. Fold the sides inward over the filling, then roll tightly to seal the dumpling.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling until all dumplings are assembled.

Step 11

To serve the dumplings fresh, place them onto a serving platter and accompany with your favorite sugar-free dipping sauce.

Step 12

For crispy dumplings, heat a non-stick skillet with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat. Cook the dumplings for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy!
