Ingredients
- 1 cup, finely shredded cabbage
- 0.5 cup, grated carrot
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup, firm and crumbled tofu
- 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 30 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 0.25 cup, for frying vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped shiitake mushrooms, chopped green onions, crumbled tofu, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the bowl and mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Step 3
Take one dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it over, and pinch the edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the dumplings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 5
Fry the dumplings on one side until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Flip the dumplings and add a splash of water to the pan. Cover with a lid and let them steam for another 5 minutes until the water has evaporated.
Step 7
Remove the lid and allow the dumplings to crisp up again for another minute.
Step 8
Transfer the dumplings to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried dumplings warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
