Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1/2 lb. firm tofu
  • 1/2 cup coarsely grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup shredded napa cabbage
  • 2 tbs. finely chopped red pepper
  • 2 tbs. finely chopped scallions
  • 2 tsp. finely minced fresh ginger
  • 1 tbs. chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1 tbs. soy sauce
  • 1 tbs. hoisin sauce
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 35 to 40 small wonton wrappers
  • Water
  • Wok or frying pan
  • Bamboo steamer
  • Nonstick vegetable spray

Step1
Dice tofu into 1/4 inch pieces. Place in a large mixing bowl and add all ingredients from the carrots to the salt and pepper. Stir just to combine.
Step2
Remove a wonton wrapper and cover the rest with a damp cloth.
Step3
Sprinkle water on the edges of the wrapper, then scoop a rounded 1/2 tsp. of the mixture into the middle of the wrapper.
Step4
Fold the edges over on the diagonal to form a fan-like packet. Press edges to seal.

Set the dumpling aside, covering with a damp cloth. Repeat until all wrappers and filling has been used.
Step6
Bring a 1/2 inch of water to a simmer over medium heat in a wok or frying pan. Spray your bamboo steamer with nonstick spray and fill with dumplings, making sure they are not touching each other.

Cover and steam for 10 to 12 minutes over medium heat. Remove from steamer and serve.
