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
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, chopped mushrooms, green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the vegetable mixture, and mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- 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.
- Repeat the process until all wrappers are filled and sealed.
- Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil in a pot. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
