Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 7 ounces Firm tofu
• 1 cup Spinach, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add in the warm water and olive oil, mixing with a fork until a dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Crumble the firm tofu into a bowl and mix with chopped spinach, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 4

After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until it’s about 1/16 inch thick. Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.

Step 6

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently place the dumplings into the boiling water. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove them with a slotted spoon.

Step 7

In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the cooked dumplings, sauté gently until they are slightly golden and crispy on the edges, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
