VEGAN CHINESE STEAMED DUMPLINGS
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Rolling
Pin - Dumpling press (optional)
- Steaming basket or steamer insert
- Large pot with lid
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1
tablespoon vegetable oil - 1/2 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl,
whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually pour in the warm water, stirring with chopsticks or a fork until a rough dough forms. - Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles of dough.
- Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each circle of dough. Use a dumpling press or your fingers to fold the dough over and seal it shut, crimping the edges as you go.
- Place the dumplings in a steaming basket or steamer insert. Steam the dumplings over boiling water for 10-15 minutes, until the dough is cooked through.
- Serve hot with soy sauce or dipping sauce of your choice.
