Vegetable Dumplings

Share this blog:

My partner is Polish and that’s how I discovered dumplings. To be clear, dumplings are basically a national dish in Poland so they’re quite proud of them. There are two options to make these dumplings: boil them or pan-fry them. To be fair, I much rather eat them pan-fried because that just tastes a lot better to me.

On the other hand, my partner prefers them boiled so I guess it depends on the person and I suggest you try out both. One thing to keep in mind is that dumplings are a nice dish, but it’s probably nice to serve this with some potatoes or a salad to spice things up a little bit.

Instructions

 

• Gradually mix the boiling water into the flour. Stir until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.
• Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Combine cabbage, carrot, mushrooms, tofu, and green onions in a bowl.
• Add soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir until well mixed.
• Roll out the rested dough and cut into 3-inch rounds using a cookie cutter.
• Place a spoonful of filling into the center of each round.
• Wet the edges with water, fold in half, and press to seal, forming the dumplings.
• Cooking (note: you can also fry dumplings if that’s what you prefer):
• Heat a non-stick pan with a thin layer of oil over medium heat.
• Place dumplings in the pan and cook until the bottom turns golden brown.
• Add a small amount of water to the pan, cover, and steam for about 3 minutes.
• Remove the lid and continue cooking until the water evaporates and the dumplings are crispy.
