Ingredients

• 1 cup Kimchi
• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 24 Gluten-free dumpling wrappers
• 1 bowl Water
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by draining and pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. This process takes about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, chop the kimchi into small pieces, and finely slice the green onions and garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, crumble the pressed tofu by hand until it resembles a coarse meal.

Step 4

Add the chopped kimchi, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, sliced green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the bowl with the crumbled tofu. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Step 5

Lay out a gluten-free dumpling wrapper and place about a tablespoon of filling in the center.

Step 6

Dip your finger in the bowl of water and run it along the edges of the wrapper to help seal the dumpling.

Step 7

Fold the wrapper in half to cover the filling and press the edges together firmly, creating pleats to ensure a good seal.

Step 8

Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 9

Heat the neutral oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Once hot, add the dumplings in batches, ensuring they don't overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 11

Carefully pour a small amount of water (around 1/4 cup) into the pan and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and steam the dumplings for another 5 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate and to crisp up the dumpling bottoms again.

Step 13

Remove the dumplings from the skillet and repeat the cooking process with any remaining uncooked dumplings.

Step 14

Serve the dumplings hot with a side of gluten-free dipping sauce, if desired.
