Ingredients
- 300 g Plant-based ground meat
- 1 bunch Chives
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp White pepper
- 30 pieces Vegan dumpling wrappers
- 0 for sealing Water
- 2 tbsp Oil
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the chives and mince the garlic cloves and ginger.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plant-based ground meat, chopped chives, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 3
Place a dumpling wrapper on a flat surface and add about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture to the center.
Step 4
Dip your finger in water and wet the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a semicircle and pinch the edges together to seal the dumpling, ensuring there are no air pockets. You can create pleats for a more traditional look.
Step 5
Repeat the process with the remaining dumpling wrappers and filling.
Step 6
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Place the dumplings in the pan, making sure they do not touch each other. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan and cover with a lid to steam the dumplings. Allow them to steam for 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Step 9
Remove the lid and allow the dumplings to crisp up again at the bottom for an additional minute.
Step 10
Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and serve with your choice of dipping sauce, such as a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil.
