Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Plant-based chicken
- 1 cup Cabbage
- 1 small Carrot
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 24 pieces Vegetarian dumpling wrappers
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
Instructions
Finely chop the cabbage and squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
Grate the carrot and add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the green onions. Add both to the bowl.
Finely chop the plant-based chicken and add it to the vegetable mixture.
Add ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the vegetable mixture and mix everything well until the ingredients are combined evenly.
Take a dumpling wrapper and place it in your palm. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Use your finger to dampen the edges of the wrapper with this slurry.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pleat and seal the edges, pressing out any air. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, ensuring they do not touch.
Cook dumplings for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Once browned, add 1/3 cup of water to the pan and cover with a lid to steam the dumplings for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue cooking until the water has evaporated and the bottoms are crisp again.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
