Ingredients

• 8 oz Plant-based ground 'pork'
• 1 cup Green cabbage
• 0.5 cup Carrot
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 40 Dumpling wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green cabbage and grate the carrot. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely slice the green onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the plant-based ground 'pork', chopped cabbage, grated carrot, green onions, minced garlic, and ginger.

Step 4

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until everything is well-combined.

Step 5

Set a small bowl of water nearby to help seal the dumplings.

Step 6

Take one dumpling wrapper and place approximately 1 tablespoon of filling in the center.

Step 7

Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.

Step 8

Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal. Pleat the edges, if desired, to secure the dumpling.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 10

Heat the cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 11

Add the dumplings, flat-side down, and cook for about 2 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 12

Carefully pour in 1/4 cup of water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for about 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the wrappers are tender.

Step 13

Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms again.

Step 14

Serve the dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
