Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Plant-based ground beef
- 1 cup Green cabbage
- 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 Round dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Finely shred the cabbage and mushrooms. Grate the carrot. Mince the garlic and ginger. Chop the green onions.
In a large bowl, combine the plant-based ground beef, cabbage, mushrooms, carrot, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Take a dumpling wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper to moisten it.
Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal, ensuring no air is trapped inside. You can pleat the edges for a decorative touch.
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place dumplings in the skillet, flat side down, in a single layer. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for another 3-4 minutes or until the wrapper is cooked through and translucent.
Remove the lid and continue cooking until all the water has evaporated and the bottoms are crispy, about 1-2 minutes longer.
Transfer dumplings to a serving plate and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
