Ingredients

• 200 grams Plant-based chicken
• 1 cup Cabbage
• 1 small Carrot
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 24 pieces Vegetarian dumpling wrappers
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the cabbage and squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel. Set aside in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Grate the carrot and add it to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and finely chop the green onions. Add both to the bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop the plant-based chicken and add it to the vegetable mixture.

Step 5

Add ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the vegetable mixture and mix everything well until the ingredients are combined evenly.

Step 6

Take a dumpling wrapper and place it in your palm. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Use your finger to dampen the edges of the wrapper with this slurry.

Step 8

Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pleat and seal the edges, pressing out any air. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 9

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, ensuring they do not touch.

Step 10

Cook dumplings for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 11

Once browned, add 1/3 cup of water to the pan and cover with a lid to steam the dumplings for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the lid and continue cooking until the water has evaporated and the bottoms are crisp again.

Step 13

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
