One dish that I can eat for the rest of my life and never get bored of is DUMPLINGS. I love dumplings in every form possible, especially these delicious, refreshing, and addicting Vegetarian Dumplings. The vegetarian dumplings are seasoned perfectly, the cabbage is crunchy, the mushroom is “meaty,” and herbs give the dumplings a refreshing kick. If you are a meat lover, you can also add ground chicken and pork.
Add 2 tbsp of Salt in chopped cabbage, massage, and set it aside for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, squeeze out all the excess water.
In a pan, add in 2 tbsp of sesame oil, 1,5 tbsp of soy sauce, chopped shiitake mushroom, shredded carrots, and white parts of the green onion. Saute for 2-3 minutes until carrots become soft.
Soak 5 oz of vermicelli noodles in water for 5 minutes. Drain the noodles, using your scissors, cut them into small pieces.
Mix cabbage, saute veggies, chopped green onion, cilantro, and vermicelli noodles in a large bowl.
Season with 3.5 tbsp of vegetarian oyster sauce, 1 tbsp of Mushroom powder, 2.5 tbsp of sesame oil, and 1 tsp of white pepper.
Take one piece of wrapper and add in 1 tbsp of the filling in the middle. Add water to the edges. Fold the wrapper in half, and using the palm of your hand, squeeze the wrapping together on each side while pushing the filling down, forming a ball. Make sure that all the edges are tightly sealed.
Boil a pot of water. Once the water is boiling, add in the dumplings. Once the dumplings float, cook for another 2 minutes.

Notes
These Vegetarian Dumplings can last in the freezer for up to 3 months. First, to store these in the freezer, freeze the dumplings making sure they are not stuck together on parchment paperwork for 2 hours. Once the dumplings harden, you can add them into ziplock bags. Ensure not to add the dumplings into the bags until they are fully frozen to prevent them from sticking together.
