Ingredients

Scale

1 cup firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup finely chopped green cabbage
1/4 cup sliced green onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, minced
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
12 round dumpling wrappers
Oil for frying

Instructions

Prepare the filling by mixing crumbled tofu, carrots, cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl until well combined.
Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about one tablespoon of the filling into the center. Wet the edges with water and fold over to seal tightly.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Arrange dumplings in a single layer and fry until golden brown on the bottom.
Add 1/4 cup water to the pan and cover immediately. Steam for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
