    Vegan Green Curry Dumplings

    Vegan Dumplings

    Do you LOVE dumplings as much as I do?

    If your answer is yes (if not, why else would you be here reading this post, right?) then you will absolutely LOVE these vegan green curry dumplings!

    And YES, they're VEGAN!

    Can you tell that I'm overly excited about this recipe? Ok lets just get on with it.

    Naturally Flavoured And Coloured Dumpling Wrappers

    I would really love for you to try these naturally flavoured and coloured dumpling wrappers. Yes, I really do.

    No artificial colours. No artificial flavours.

    These beautiful colourful dumpling wrappers are made using spinach (for the green ones) and gochujang (for the red ones).

    Not only the natural ingredients add colours but the gochujang ones really spice up your dumpling game 😉

    And hey, they're so easy to make so no worries.

    Great Green Curry Flavour

    Have you tried green curry before? If you have not, then ohhh you really should!

    Green curry got its name (obviously) from the green curry paste that is just packed with wonderful green herbs like lemongrass, galangal, coriander, cumin and lots of green chillies. Some recipes call for shrimp paste but it can easily be omitted to make it vegan. No problem at all.

    The green curry paste that I'm using in this recipe doesn't have shrimp paste. And ohhh I really love this paste. This is not sponsored post by the way, I'm just sharing what I love in case you might find it useful too.

    This paste is a Thailand product and it uses all natural ingredients that you can read the names and understand what they are. It's also extremely flavourful so a little of it goes a long way.

    I want the flavour to really come through, not just lingering at the back so I'm using quite an amount of it in this recipe. You can reduce it if your green curry paste is super spicy and strong. Like always, adjust it to your likings.

    Hey if you want to try make it your own, I've got you covered 😉

    Amazingly Delicious Vegan Filling

    I'm not vegan but both my husband (he's not vegan also) and me absolutely love vegan recipes ever since we started venturing into the beautiful and delicious vegan meals some months ago.

    One of the things that I like most about cooking vegan meals is that they're faster. Depending on the recipe of course but usually it does take less time. And who doesn't like that, right?

    For example this yummy filling, we don't need to pre-cook it or anything since we're using tofu and veggies. The dumplings go directly in the steamer. We also just need to steam them until the wrappers are fully cooked. No worries if the filling is still raw or something.

    Talking about tofu, I've always LOVED tofu. Maybe it's an Asian thing? I don't know.

    And tofu is extremely versatile. It comes already cooked, that's already a plus. And it's so amazing in soaking all the amazing flavours in the recipe.

    Do give this recipe a try. Not only that, do try make my colourful dumpling wrappers also. You will absolutely love both recipes 🙂

    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    The Green Curry Filling

    • Into a bowl, add in green curry paste, coconut milk, sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch and mix everything well. Set aside.
    • Drain tofu and cut into chunks. Add into curry mixture and mashed into fine texture using a fork. Add in chives, cabbage and edamame. Mix everything together. Set aside.

    Assembling

    • Take one dumpling wrapper and place around 1 tablespoon of filling on the center. Pinch and pleat to your desired shape (watch how I did mine in the video above). Place on a steamer. Continue with the rest.
    • Steam for 20 minutes or until the wrappers are fully cooked. Serve immediately with some chili oil!

    How To Handle Raw Dumplings

    • If you're making this alone (like me), chances are you can't roll the wrappers, fill and pleat them fast enough. The dough tends to get dry fast.
    • What I do is I always cover my unrolled dumpling dough with cling film when I'm not using them. I also put a layer of cling film on a tray, where I put all the filled and pleated dumplings. Then I cover them with cling film also.
    • This way they will not get dry by the time I finish assembling. Only then I start steaming them in batches because my steamer is medium size.

    How To Store

    • They are best steamed and consumed immediately.
    • To Freeze: Place raw dumplings on a tray with baking sheet, not touching each other. Put the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes or until they harden. Then put them in a ziploc bag and back in the freezer.
    • To Defrost: Steam them without defrosting. Add few more minutes of cooking time.

      These look beautiful as well as delicious. Just one question, are you using chinese cabbage and if so, do you think I can substitute green cabbage if it's chopped fine? thanks, can't wait to try them.

        No, Jill. I used green cabbage and had it chopped finely. Chinese cabbage is quite a rare thing to find in my place 😀 . Hope you'll like it, thanks!

        Yes tofu is an amazing flavour carrier since it's very mild tasting. Happy that you liked it Paul, thank you so much!
