Here’s a recipe for Vegan Spicy Steamed Dumplings:

Ingredients:

For the Dumpling Filling:

• 2 cups finely chopped Napa cabbage
• 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms (shiitake or cremini work well)
• 1 cup finely chopped tofu (firm or extra firm)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp sriracha sauce (adjust to your desired level of spiciness)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Dumpling Wrappers:

• 1 package of vegan dumpling wrappers (usually available at Asian grocery stores)

For the Dipping Sauce:

• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp agave syrup or maple syrup (for sweetness)
• Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped Napa cabbage with a generous pinch of salt. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
   • In a separate bowl, combine the chopped mushrooms, tofu, garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Mix well.
   • Add the squeezed Napa cabbage to the tofu mixture and mix thoroughly. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Assemble the Dumplings:
   • Take a dumpling wrapper and place a teaspoon of the filling in the center.
   • Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water and fold it in half to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal.
   • You can get creative with the folding styles, such as pleating the edges or folding them into a triangle. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Steam the Dumplings:
   • Place the dumplings in a bamboo or metal steamer lined with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
   • Steam the dumplings for about 15-20 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
4. Make the Dipping Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and agave syrup.
5. Serve:
   • Remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve them with the dipping sauce.
   • Garnish with chopped green onions.

These Vegan Spicy Steamed Dumplings make a delicious and satisfying meal. You can adjust the spiciness level by adding more or less sriracha to the filling and dipping sauce. Enjoy!
