Ingredients
- 1/2 pound firm tofu shopping list
- 1/2 cup coarsely grated carrots shopping list
- 1/2 cup shredded napa cabbage shopping list
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red pepper shopping list
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions shopping list
- 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger shopping list
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves shopping list
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce shopping list
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce shopping list

- 1 egg, lightly beaten shopping list
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- Bowl of water, plus additional water for steamer shopping list
- 35 to 40 small wonton wrappers shopping list
- Non-stick vegetable spray, for the steamer shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Cut the tofu in half horizontally and lay between layers of paper towels.
- Place on a plate, top with another plate, and place a weight on top (a 14-ounce can of vegetables works well).
- Let stand 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, cut the tofu into 1/4-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the carrots, cabbage, red pepper, scallions, ginger, cilantro, soy sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, egg, salt, and pepper.
- Lightly stir to combine.
- To form the dumplings, remove 1 wonton wrapper from the package, covering the others with a damp cloth.
- Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with water.
- Place 1/2 rounded teaspoon of the tofu mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Shape as desired. Set on a sheet pan and cover with a damp cloth.
- Repeat procedure until all of the filling is gone.
- Using a steaming apparatus of your choice, bring 1/4 to 1/2-inch of water to a simmer over medium heat. Spray the steamer's surface lightly with the non-stick vegetable spray to prevent sticking.
- Place as many dumplings as will fit into a steamer, without touching each other.
- Cover and steam for 10 to 12 minutes over medium heat.
- Remove the dumplings from the steamer to a heatproof platter and place in oven to keep warm.
- Repeat until all dumplings are cooked.
- ~~~And this is so easy too!!!
