Vegetable Dumplings (Dairy-Free)

These vegetable dumplings are a delightful, dairy-free side dish packed with fresh flavors and textures. Perfectly steamed, they offer a satisfying bite and a healthy twist on a classic Chinese treat.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Warm water - 75 ml
• Cabbage - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Carrot - 50 grams, grated
• Mushrooms - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Green onions - 30 grams, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with warm water to form a smooth dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until elastic, then cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. In a pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, then add the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, and mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
3. Stir in the green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool.
4. Divide the rested dough into small portions and roll each into a thin circle. Place about a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle.
5. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly. Ensure there are no air pockets.
6. Prepare a steamer and steam the dumplings for about 10-12 minutes until the dough is translucent and cooked through.
7. Serve the dumplings hot with a side of soy sauce or dipping sauce of your choice.
