Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1.5 cups Vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 Green onions, chopped
- 1 Carrot, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 30 Vegan dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
Instructions
Rehydrate the Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) by soaking it in the vegetable broth for about 10 minutes. Drain any excess liquid afterwards.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated TVP, soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, grated carrot, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and chopped cabbage. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. This will be used to seal the dumplings.
Place a vegan dumpling wrapper on a clean surface and add a tablespoon of the filling mixture into the center.
Dip your finger into the cornstarch slurry and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling and press the edges tightly to seal, creating small pleats if desired.
Repeat the process until all the filling is used.
Heat the cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover immediately with a lid and let the dumplings steam for 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue cooking until all the water has evaporated and the dumplings are crispy on the bottom again.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
