Vegetarian Dumplings Workshop

Craft your own vegetarian dumplings with this hands-on workshop.

How to Make it

1. Prepare the napa cabbage (already sliced width-wise) first by sprinkling salt over them and mixing to incorporate. Let it sit to draw out moisture while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Work on the tofu as described above. Again, let it sit while you work on the mushrooms.
3. Work on the mushrooms and aromatics in the meantime as described above.
4. Soak the wood ear mushrooms in regular tap water too.
5. Once all the ingredients for the filling are prepared, combine everything in a large mixing bowl and mix in the seasonings. Make sure to squeeze out as much water from the tofu and napa cabbage as possible.
6. Prepare the dumpling wrappers and a small bowl of water to wet the edges of the wrapper.
7. Take 1 piece of wrapper, and with the side that is less floury facing up on your palm, scoop in around 1 Tbsp of filling. Wet one side of the wrapper by dabbing your finger into the bowl of water and running it along the edge. Bring the 2 opposite sides of the square wrapper and fold it in half. Next, bring the 2 corners together and overlap it slightly. Dab one corner wet and pinch the 2 ends together.
8. Repeat with all the filling and wrappers.
9. Once done, bring a large pot to boil. Once at a rolling boil, gently put in the dumplings and stir to prevent sticking. Cook until they all float to the top. Scoop it out with a slotted spoon and serve. Enjoy!
