Ingredients

• 30 pieces Vegan dumpling wrappers
• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 1 cup Napa cabbage
• 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

To prepare the filling, press and drain the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, crumble it into small bits with your hands or a fork.

Step 2

Finely chop the Napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, carrot, green onions, ginger, and garlic.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms, carrot, and Napa cabbage to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Stir in the crumbled tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.

Step 6

Remove the filling mixture from the heat, sprinkle in the cornstarch, and mix thoroughly to help bind the filling. Let it cool completely.

Step 7

Set up a workstation with the dumpling wrappers, a small bowl of water, and the cooled filling.

Step 8

Place a wrapper in the palm of your hand. Add about 1 teaspoon of filling to the center of the wrapper.

Step 9

Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper to moisten. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Optionally, create pleats along the edge for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Repeat the process until all wrappers are filled.

Step 11

Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 12

Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately. Steam the dumplings for 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated. Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional 1 minute to crisp up the bottoms.

Step 13

Transfer the dumplings to a plate and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or chili oil.
