    Vegan Dumplings with Mushroom and Spinach

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    These vegan dumplings have become one of my all-time favorite recipes. I have been missing dumplings lately and the frozen ones just don't quite do the trick for me. 

    Fresh homemade vegetable dumplings are nothing like frozen ones. These are to-die-for. My kids love them, too. They are a total win. No dairy or meat in this version but they are not gluten-free, as the wrappers without eggs are hard to find. If anybody knows where I can get ahold of gluten-free and egg-free wrappers, please let me know!

    Sautéed mushrooms, mini bell peppers, and spinach make up the inside of these little vegetable dumplings. They are delicate and light but do not fall apart when you eat them. They aren't quick to make but I found the process almost meditative and relaxing. It was a fun project to do with my son who also loves to cook.

    What You Need For Making Vegan Dumplings

    • Veggies
    • Small bowl of water
    • Dumpling wrappers or homemade
    • Soy sauce (tarmari for gluten-free variation)
    • Rice vinegar
    • Toasted sesame oil
    • Red chili paste
    • Cooking oil

    The delicate textures and flavors along with the translucent wraps make these dumplings hard to resist. 

    Anytime I go to asian style restaurants there are dumplings on the menu but rarely if ever are there vegetables ones. Usually only shrimp or chicken. So making them at home my way makes them so special. 

    Vegan Dumpling Variations

    I love playing around with all different types of sauces. Some spicy, some creamy others salty and vinegary. Or a combination of all of the above. 

    Try my almond butter sauce with them as well to mix things up a bit, too. 

    Or try adding herbs, scallions and toasted sesame seeds as a garnish. And fillings? There are so many combinations. Tofu or mock duck are great options. Water chestnuts are an option as well, they aren't my favorite, but some people LOVE the crunch!

    VEGAN DUMPLINGS WITH MUSHROOM AND SPINACH

    Meatless dumplings made from scratch are so delicious. They are delicate and chewy with a tangy sweet and salty dipping sauce. The perfect finger food.

    Servings 12 potstickers

    Equipment

    • Frying pan

    Ingredients
      

    Dumpling Wrappers Ingredients

    • 4 cups All purpose flour
    • 1 ¼ cups Warm water
    • 2 teaspoon Salt divided

    Veggie Filling Ingredients

    • 3.5 ounces Mushrooms chopped
    • 4-5 each Sweet mini bell peppers
    • 2 cloves Raw garlic pressed or minced
    • 2 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil or vegan butter divided
    • 2 Tbsp Shallots chopped
    • 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
    • ¼ tsp sea salt
    • 12 individual Potsticker or gyoza wrappers
    • ¼ cup Water (for dipping fingers)

    Dipping Sauces Ingredients

    • 1 tsp Red chili paste
    • 2 tablespoon Tamari
    • 3 tablespoon Rice vinegar

    Instructions
     

    • In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the warm water and mix until well-combined.
    • Roll out dough on a floured surface and knead until smooth.
    • Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
    • Roll out 1 piece of dough into a thin log and divide into 6 or 8 pieces, depending on the size of dumplings you want. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
    • Lightly flour the dough pieces and roll out 1 piece into a thin circle roughly 4-inches in diameter.
    • Keep the dumpling wrappers separated with a small piece of parchment paper and repeat with the remaining dough. Save extra dough in freezer.
    • In a large frying pan add 1 tablespoon oil (save the other tablespoon for later), chopped mushrooms, bell peppers, garlic, and sea salt. Cook this mixture for about 5 minutes. Stir them every few minutes to keep them from burning. Veggies should be well cooked but not browned.  If the mixture looks like it's drying up too much add a touch more oil or water. 
    • While veggies are cooking grab your wrappers, 2 plates, a spoon, a paper towel or rag, and your cup full of water (for your fingers). This will be your potsticker station. 
    • Once veggies are done, stir in the spinach so that it wilts a tad but doesn't get overcooked. Toss and mix well. Remove from heat and scrap veggie mixture (the filling) onto one of the plates at your station. Set the frying pan back onto the stovetop and use it to cook up the finished potstickers. 
    • To make the potstickers you'll want to place one round potsticker wrapper onto a clean plate at your station. Using the spoon scoop about 1 teaspoon or so of mixture onto the center of the wrapper. 
    • Gently fold the round wrapper over, making it a half-circle. Wet your fingers well and press the open edges of the half-circle together well so that there isn't any part of it open or filling exposed/falling out. 
    • Repeat steps 4-6 until all of your filling vegetable mushroom mixture is gone. 
    • Using the rest of the butter or oil, heat the pan on medium and cook the potstickers in the oil/butter until they start to lightly brown. Flipping over a few times. About 4 total minutes.
    • Serve with my dipping sauce.

    Dipping Sauces Instructions

    • Sauce #1
      Combine red chili paste with 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. Stir. 
    • Sauce #2
      Combine tamari with the rest of the rice vinegar. Stir.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
