Dumplings are one of my favorite indulgences on the weekend. They're deliciously salty with very little guilt. I decided to try and make them this weekend instead of ordering takeout. I usually buy the vegetarian variety but I thought why not try and make them vegan? They turned out really well. This is a little time consuming but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty straight forward. For the sauce, I just threw together 1 part organic soy sauce, 1 part rice vinegar, and 1 part sesame oil.
INGREDIENTS
| Vegan Dumpling Wrappers: | |
| 1/2 cup | tapioca starch |
| 1/2 cup | fine rice flour |
| 3/4 tsp | xanthan gum |
| 1 tbsp | oil |
| 5‑6 tbsp | cold water |
| Dumpling Filling: | |
| 4 | dried shiitake mushrooms |
| 1 ounce | dried rice noodles |
| 1/2 pound | Napa cabbage |
| 1/2 pound | baby bok choy |
| 3 tbsp | sesame oil |
| 2 tbsp | soy sauce |
| 1 tbsp | rice vinegar |
| Pinch of grated fresh ginger | |
PREPARATION:
Vegan Dumpling Wrappers:
- Whisk together the starch, flour, and xanthan gum. Add the oil and 5 tbsp of the water. Mix by hand until everything comes together. Add more water if necessary.
- Sprinkle your work surface with sweet rice flour, roll into a ball, and cover with a damp paper towel. Pinch off dough balls a bit smaller than a quarter and flatten in your palm. Add 1 tsp of the filling.
- Steam in a bamboo steamer or in a vegetable steamer for about 10 minutes or until they are cooked through.
- Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to a pan on medium heat. Add dumplings for just enough time to crisp the sides up.
