Gluten-Free Vegetable Dumplings

These gluten-free vegetable dumplings are a delightful midnight treat, packed with fresh vegetables and umami flavors. Perfectly steamed and served with a savory dipping sauce, they offer a satisfying and healthy late-night snack.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free dumpling wrappers - 12 pieces
• Cabbage, finely chopped - 100 grams
• Carrot, grated - 50 grams
• Mushrooms, finely chopped - 50 grams
• Green onions, finely chopped - 30 grams
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - for pan frying (optional)
• Water - for steaming

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, chopped mushrooms, green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
2. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the vegetable mixture, and mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
3. Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it in half over the filling, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
4. Repeat the process until all wrappers are filled and sealed.
5. Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil in a pot. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
6. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, making sure they do not touch each other. Cover and steam for about 10-12 minutes until the wrappers become translucent.
7. For a crispy texture, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and pan-fry the steamed dumplings for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
