Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped mushrooms, green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
-
Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper to the vegetable mixture. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
-
Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of the wrapper. Be careful not to overfill the dumplings to prevent them from bursting during frying.
-
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger.
-
Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape. Pinch and pleat the edges to seal the dumpling tightly.
-
Heat a skillet with vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the dumplings in the skillet, making sure they are not touching each other.
-
Allow the dumplings to fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom turns golden brown.
-
Pour a small amount of water into the skillet, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Let the dumplings steam for another 5-6 minutes until the wrappers are cooked through.
-
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to crisp up the bottom of the dumplings.
-
Once the bottoms are crispy, carefully remove the dumplings from the skillet and place them on a serving plate.
-
Serve the Vegetarian Fried Dumplings hot with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
