Instructions

Dumplings

  • On a cutting board, place the tofu and gently press all sides with paper towels to absorb all the water. Make sure all the water is completely gone.
  • In a large bowl, break the tofu like minced beef texture.
  • Add in chopped green onion, soaked cabbage, chopped shitake mushrooms, corn starch, all the seasonings and sauces. Mix until well-combined.
  • Take a dumpling wrapper, place it on your palm. Take 1bsp of the dumpling filling and place it in the center of the wrapper. Glue around the wrapper with water.
  • Start folding the dumpling from the center and pinch, forming a semi-circle. Pinch the edges together starting from one end to the other, making sure the filling is sealed inside. For extra flair, create small pleats along the edge as you pinch. Repeat to all dumplings. Watch the video instructions for better understanding.
