Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, finely shredded cabbage
- 0.5 cup, grated carrot
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup, firm and crumbled tofu
- 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 30 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 0.25 cup, for frying vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped shiitake mushrooms, chopped green onions, crumbled tofu, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the bowl and mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Take one dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it over, and pinch the edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the dumplings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the dumplings on one side until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the dumplings and add a splash of water to the pan. Cover with a lid and let them steam for another 5 minutes until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and allow the dumplings to crisp up again for another minute.
Transfer the dumplings to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried dumplings warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
