Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Shelled edamame (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Scallions (white and light green parts only, chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 24 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- Water (for sealing the wrappers)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for pan-frying; optional)
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook the edamame for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
2. In a food processor, combine cooked edamame, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cream cheese, and salt. Process until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides if necessary.
3. Lay out the dumpling wrappers on a clean work surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the edamame filling in the center of each wrapper.
4. Dip your finger in water and lightly moisten the edge of one wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Optionally, pleat the edges for a decorative effect. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
5. To cook the dumplings: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (optional). Arrange the dumplings in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
6. Carefully add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Let the dumplings steam for 3-4 minutes or until the wrappers are tender and cooked through.
7. Repeat with remaining dumplings if cooking in batches.
8. Serve hot with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
