Ingredients

• 24 pieces Dumpling wrappers (store-bought or homemade, ensure nut-free)
• 2 cups Cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 cup Carrots, finely grated
• 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, finely diced
• 1 bunch Green onions, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (for frying, optional)
• 0.5 cup Water (for sealing and steaming)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, diced shiitake mushrooms, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Place one dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about one teaspoon of the vegetable mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Wet the edges of the dumpling wrapper with a small amount of water using your finger or a pastry brush.

Step 5

Fold the dumpling wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal. You can pleat the edges for a decorative finish if desired.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining dumpling wrappers and filling until all are assembled.

Step 7

To cook the dumplings, heat one tablespoon of cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the dumplings in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the dumplings for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 9

Add 1/4 cup of water to the pan, then cover immediately to steam the dumplings. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.

Step 10

If you prefer a steamed-only method, place the dumplings in a bamboo or metal steamer lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the dumplings hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili oil, or a tangy vinegar-based dip.
