Ingredients

• 1 cup Shelled edamame (frozen or fresh)
• 2 tablespoons Scallions (white and light green parts only, chopped)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1.5 teaspoons Toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 24 pieces Dumpling wrappers
• 0 Water (for sealing the wrappers)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for pan-frying; optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook the edamame for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 2

2. In a food processor, combine cooked edamame, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cream cheese, and salt. Process until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides if necessary.

Step 3

3. Lay out the dumpling wrappers on a clean work surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the edamame filling in the center of each wrapper.

Step 4

4. Dip your finger in water and lightly moisten the edge of one wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Optionally, pleat the edges for a decorative effect. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

5. To cook the dumplings: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (optional). Arrange the dumplings in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 6

6. Carefully add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Let the dumplings steam for 3-4 minutes or until the wrappers are tender and cooked through.

Step 7

7. Repeat with remaining dumplings if cooking in batches.

Step 8

8. Serve hot with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
