These Korean-style dumplings, filled with a savory mixture of vegetables and tofu, offer a delightful blend of flavors and textures. Perfectly steamed or pan-fried, they make for a delicious vegetarian snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

• Wonton wrappers - 20 pieces
• Firm tofu - 150 grams, crumbled
• Cabbage - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Carrot - 50 grams, grated
• Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon (for sealing)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, chopped cabbage, grated carrot, green onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
2. Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water or cornstarch slurry, then fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle. Pinch the edges tightly to seal.
4. Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
5. To cook the dumplings, you can either steam them for about 15 minutes or pan-fry them in a non-stick skillet with a little oil over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
