Delicious crispy pan-fried dumplings filled with a savory mix of tofu and vegetables, perfect as an appetizer or light main dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
  • 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1/2 cup carrot, grated
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 30 round dumpling wrappers
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Water (for sealing and steaming)
  • Soy sauce or chili dipping sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine crumbled tofu, cabbage, carrot, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Place a dumpling wrapper in your palm. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center.
  3. Wet the edges with water, fold the wrapper over the filling, and pleat or press to seal tightly.
  4. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add dumplings in a single layer without overcrowding.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottoms are golden and crispy.
  7. Add 1/4 cup water to the pan, cover immediately, and steam for 3–4 minutes.
  8. Uncover and cook another 1–2 minutes until water evaporates and bottoms are crisp again.
  9. Repeat in batches as needed. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use pre-shredded coleslaw mix for a shortcut.
  • Freeze uncooked dumplings on a tray, then transfer to a bag for longer storage.
  • Substitute wrappers with gluten-free options if needed.
