Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons konjac root powder
• 1 teaspoon agar-agar powder
• 1 teaspoon seaweed flakes
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup firm tofu, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 20 pieces dumpling wrappers (vegan)
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine konjac root powder, agar-agar powder, seaweed flakes, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

Add lemon juice, soy sauce, and coconut milk to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring often. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add crumbled firm tofu to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure tofu is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mixture from the saucepan to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly dry.

Step 6

Lay out the vegan dumpling wrappers. Place about 1 tablespoon of the 'shrimp' filling onto each wrapper.

Step 7

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold in half, and press to seal, ensuring no air is trapped inside.

Step 8

Heat a teaspoon of sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Arrange dumplings in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 9

Add about 1/4 cup of water to the pan, cover with a lid, and steam the dumplings for 4-5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

Step 10

Remove the lid and allow the dumplings to cook for 1 more minute to crisp up the bottoms.

Step 11

Transfer the dumplings to a plate and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
