Found this recipe in Japanese and arranged the ingredients in my style. I'm not a vegan, but surprisingly these dumplings are so similar texture to the meat and tasted really good, and of course a lot healthier with lots of fiber, less calories, and no saturated fat. Ingredients:
10 leaves of Chinese cabbage
4 pcs dried shiitake mushrooms
1 1/2 cups oats
2 cloves garlic
3 slices ginger
pepper
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp sesami oil
2 tbsp water from dried shiitake
25 pcs dumpling dough
Preparation:
Hydrate shiitake mushroom in luke warm water for an hour or till it gets soft. Save some water.
Direction:
1. Mince Chinese cabagge, mushrooms, garlic and ginger.
2. Mix all the ingredients and water from mushroom (it adds some flavor) well with hand.
3. Wrap that in the dough and seal the dough with water.
4. Heat the frying pan in medium-high heat, pour a tbsp of oil, put dumplings and color only the bottom of the dumplings till they are golden brown.
5. Add hot water in the pan (about 1cm from the bottom of the pan), put a lid on it, lower the heat and steam it for 5-6 min.
6. Drain the excess water by using the lid, keep frying for a minute or so to dry the water (to make dumplings crispy), and sprinkle tiny bit of sesame oil over the dumplings for the flavor.
7. Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
- For the dip, I normally mix soy sauce, vinegar (about 1:1) and some spicy sauce.
- You can use ground pork or ground beef instead of oats if you want.
