Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons agar agar powder
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves peeled and minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon peeled and minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1 cup textured vegetable protein (TVP)
- 30 pieces dumpling wrappers (vegan)
Instructions
In a saucepan, bring 3 cups of vegetable broth to a boil and add agar agar powder. Stir continuously until the agar agar is fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the broth into a shallow dish and refrigerate until solidified, about 30 minutes.
Once the broth has set, cut it into small cubes. This will become the jelly for the soup dumplings.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and green onions until fragrant.
Add the carrots and mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they are tender.
Stir in the textured vegetable protein (TVP) and add the remaining 1 cup of vegetable broth and soy sauce; cook until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Combine the vegetable mixture and the broth jelly cubes in a large bowl, mixing gently.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the mixture in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then gather and pinch the edges together to form a pouch, sealing the soup inside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and place a steamer basket on top. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Carefully place the dumplings in the steamer basket, leaving some space between each one.
Steam the dumplings for about 8 minutes or until the wrappers appear translucent and cooked through.
Serve immediately, enjoying the rich, savory broth within each dumpling.
