Ingredients

• 8 oz Vegan shrimp
• 7 oz Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
• 1 sheet Nori sheet, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 20 pieces Round dumpling wrappers (vegan)
• 2 tablespoons Carrot, grated
• 2 tablespoons Cabbage, finely shredded

Directions

Step 1

Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water. Crumble the tofu into small pieces and set it aside.

Step 2

In a food processor, chop the vegan shrimp until it forms a coarse paste.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan shrimp paste, crumbled tofu, green onions, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chopped nori, cornstarch, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Lay a dumpling wrapper flat on a work surface. Place about one tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

Gather the edges of the wrapper around the filling and gently pleat, leaving the top open. Lightly press down to ensure the dumpling stands upright.

Step 6

Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

Lightly grease a steamer basket and line with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place shumai in the steamer basket, ensuring they don't touch to avoid sticking.

Step 9

Bring water to a boil in a pot fitted with the steamer, then reduce to a simmer.

Step 10

Steam the shumai for about 12-15 minutes until the wrappers become translucent.

Step 11

Remove the shumai from the steamer and garnish each with a small bit of grated carrot and cabbage on top.

Step 12

Serve warm, with soy sauce or dipping sauce of choice.
