Ingredients

• 30 pieces Wonton wrappers (vegetarian)
• 200 grams Green cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 2 stalks Spring onions
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 30 milliliters Water for sealing the wrappers

Directions

Step 1

Finely shred the green cabbage and carrot. Crumble the tofu using your hands or a fork. Thinly slice the spring onions. Mince the garlic.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrot, crumbled tofu, spring onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 3

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add approximately 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of the vegetable mixture to the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger. Bring the edges of the wrapper together, pinching to seal. Pleat the edges as desired to form a neat parcel. Repeat this process until all the filling is used.

Step 5

Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the prepared dim sims in the steamer, ensuring they do not touch each other to allow steam to circulate.

Step 7

Steam the dim sims over simmering water for 12-15 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.

Step 8

Carefully remove the dim sims from the steamer and serve immediately with soy sauce, chili oil, or dipping sauce of your choice.
