Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 small Zucchini
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 100 grams Cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 500 milliliters Water
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove any excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel, place a heavy object on top, and let it sit for 15 minutes.
While the tofu is being pressed, finely grate the carrot, zucchini, and cabbage. Thinly slice the green onions, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a mixing bowl, crumble the pressed tofu, and add the grated and sliced vegetables, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until combined.
Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Gently dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5-10 seconds until it softens. Lay it on a clean surface or damp towel.
Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the tofu veggie mixture into the center of the rice paper wrapper. Fold the sides inward and then roll tightly to seal the filling, forming a dumpling.
Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling.
Prepare a steamer basket and add water to the steaming pot. Bring the water to a gentle boil.
Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer, leaving space between them.
Steam the dumplings for about 7-10 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the rice paper is slightly translucent.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve them warm with a side of low-sodium soy sauce or a light dipping sauce of your choice.
