Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams King oyster mushrooms
- 150 grams Firm tofu, drained
- 2 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Rice wine vinegar
- 20 pieces Dumpling wrappers (vegan)
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
Instructions
Chop the king oyster mushrooms into small pieces and pulse in a food processor until they resemble a minced texture.
In a separate bowl, crumble the tofu finely with your hands and set aside.
Cut the nori seaweed sheets into small pieces and pulse in a food processor until they form a fine powder.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced mushrooms, crumbled tofu, nori powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, rice wine vinegar, finely chopped green onions, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Lay a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold the wrapper in half, and press the edges to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets. Repeat the process for all dumplings.
Heat the cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the dumplings and fry them for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add a splash of water to the pan and immediately cover it with a lid to steam the dumplings for another 5-6 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue cooking until all the water has evaporated and the dumplings are crispy again at the bottom.
Serve the vegan prawn dumplings hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
