What are some delicious vegetarian dumplings?

There are many types of dumplings. Generally speaking, they can be divided into dumplings with vegetarian fillings, dumplings with meat fillings, and dumplings with a combination of meat and vegetables. Many people like to eat vegetarian dumplings. In fact, there are many kinds of vegetarian dumplings, such as leek dumplings, cabbage dumplings, and winter melon dumplings. These kinds of vegetarian dumplings are not particularly easy to make. Below, I will introduce to you how to make these dumplings.

1. Leek vegetarian dumpling filling

Ingredients: half a pound of leeks, 2 tablespoons of peanut oil, three eggs, a handful of black fungus, and 1.5 spoons of salt.

Preparation: Soak the fungus and wash the leeks and drain the water.

Steps:

1. Wash the soaked black fungus, drain the water and chop it into small pieces.

2. Chop the chives and add peanut oil and mix well.

3. Fry the eggs until cooked and finely fry. If they are not finely fry, cut them into small pieces with a knife and let them cool.

4. Put the fungus, leeks and eggs together, mix well, and add some salt to mix well before wrapping.

The above is the most basic method of making vegetarian leek dumpling filling. You can add side dishes or seasonings according to your personal preference. For example, black fungus can be replaced with shiitake mushrooms, vermicelli or dried shrimps, etc. In addition to salt, seasonings such as five-spice powder or thirteen spices can also be added.

2. Cabbage and Dried Tofu Vegetarian Dumpling Filling

Ingredients: 300 grams of cabbage, 200 grams of dried tofu, and 150 grams of fresh mushrooms.

Seasoning: 4 grams of salt, 10 grams of chopped green onion, 10 grams of chopped ginger, 10 grams of oyster sauce, 15 grams of sesame oil, and 10 grams of stuffing powder.

Steps:

1. After chopped cabbage, add sesame oil and mix well. Then chop the dried tofu and fresh mushrooms and put them in the cabbage.

2. Add chopped green onion, chopped ginger, oyster sauce and stuffing powder and mix well. Add salt and mix well before wrapping.

Since cabbage releases water very easily, many people like to cut it into pieces and squeeze out the water. Although this method can prevent the filling from releasing water, it will cause a large loss of water-soluble nutrients in the cabbage. This practice is not recommended.

Vermicelli can also be added to the above fillings, dried tofu can be replaced by tofu, fresh mushrooms can be replaced by other edible fungi, and cabbage can be replaced by other vegetables such as celery, lotus root, white radish or shepherd's purse.

3. Winter melon vegetarian dumpling filling

The vegetarian filling made with winter melon is refreshing and not greasy, especially suitable for eating in the boring summer.

Ingredients: appropriate amount of winter melon, 1 carrot, 5 fresh mushrooms, and a small handful of coriander.

Seasoning: salad oil, salt and sesame oil in appropriate amounts.

Steps:

1. Peel and seed the winter melon, then rub it into thin strips. Sprinkle some salt to remove the moisture, squeeze it dry, add appropriate amount of salad oil and mix well.

2. Wash and chop the fresh mushrooms, grate the carrots into thin strips, and chop the coriander.

3. Put the above ingredients together, add sesame oil and mix well. Add salt and mix well before wrapping.

The squeezed winter melon juice can be used to make a quick soup, which is very fragrant. Pour the winter melon juice into the pot, add appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil, add some sweet corn kernels and green vegetable leaves, and add some salt and sesame oil before serving.
