Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 2 cups Cabbage (finely shredded)
- 1 medium Carrot (grated)
- 3 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Mushrooms (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying or sautéing, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, chopped mushrooms, minced ginger, and minced garlic.
Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the vegetable mixture. Mix everything thoroughly until well-combined.
Prepare a small bowl of water for sealing the wonton wrappers.
Lay one wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the vegetable filling in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger into the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal the edges. Optionally, bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together and pinch to form a pleated design.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
To cook the dumplings, choose one of the following methods: a) Steaming: Place the dumplings in a steamer lined with parchment paper or cabbage leaves, ensuring they do not touch. Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes. b) Boiling: Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Cook the dumplings in batches for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface. c) Pan-frying: Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown. Add a few tablespoons of water, cover the skillet, and steam for 3-5 minutes until the water evaporates.
Serve the dumplings immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili oil, or a vinegar-based sauce.
