Ingredients

• 24 pieces Dumpling wrappers (vegan)
• 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
• 1 cup Hot vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 piece Medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 1 cup Chives, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil for frying (e.g., canola oil)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein (TVP) with hot vegetable broth and let it sit for 5 minutes to rehydrate. Once rehydrated, drain any excess liquid.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the rehydrated TVP, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the shredded carrot and chopped chives to the TVP mixture and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry. This will be used to seal the dumplings.

Step 7

To assemble the dumplings, place a dumpling wrapper on a clean work surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 8

Dip your finger in the cornstarch slurry and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal. Pleat the edges for decoration, if desired. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.

Step 9

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add the dumplings in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for about 5 minutes, or until the wrappers become translucent and tender.

Step 11

Remove the lid and continue cooking until any remaining water evaporates and the bottoms of the dumplings are crisp again, about 2 more minutes.

Step 12

Serve the vegan beef and chive dumplings hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
