Description

Healthy and flavorful dumplings filled with fresh vegetables and plant-based shrimp, perfect for sharing with family and friends.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Dumpling Wrappers
  • 1 cup Veggie Shrimp
  • 1 cup Mushrooms (shiitake or button), diced
  • 1 cup Carrots, finely shredded
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
  • 2 Green Onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce or Tamari
  • 1 cup Vegetable Broth
  • Optional: Water chestnuts, chopped
  • Optional: Tofu or chicken for substitution

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add diced mushrooms and carrots, cooking until softened. Incorporate the veggie shrimp and a dash of soy sauce, stirring well until everything is combined. Set aside to cool.
  2. Assemble the dumplings: Take a dumpling wrapper and place a small spoonful of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a tiny bit of water, fold it over, and pinch the edges to seal. Create pleats for added flair!
  3. Cook the dumplings: Either steam in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 10-12 minutes or pan-fry in a skillet with oil until golden, then add vegetable broth and cover to steam through.
  4. Serve with a tangy dipping sauce of soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil, adding sriracha for heat if desired.

Notes

Avoid overfilling the dumplings and ensure to seal them well. Test one dumpling before serving to check for doneness.
