Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams low-fat kimchi
- 150 grams firm tofu
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 pieces dumpling wrappers
- for sealing dumplings water
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Drain the low-fat kimchi, squeezing out any excess liquid, and finely chop.
Crumble the firm tofu into a mixing bowl, breaking it up into small pieces.
Finely chop the green onions and add them to the mixing bowl with the tofu.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
Grate or finely chop the ginger and add it to the bowl.
Add the chopped kimchi to the bowl along with the soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine the filling ingredients.
Take a dumpling wrapper and place about a teaspoon of filling in the center.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a semicircle, pressing the edges to seal. Pleat the edges if desired to ensure a tight seal.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Lightly spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Place the dumplings in the pan in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
Add about 1/4 cup of water to the pan, cover, and allow the dumplings to steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.
Remove the lid and let the dumplings crisp up for an additional minute.
Serve the dumplings warm as an appetizer or part of a main course, along with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
