Tofu, Ginger and Chive Dumplings 🥟

Tofu Recipe Series Episode 5: Tofu, Chive and Ginger Dumplings 🥟 Making your own dumplings is so relaxing. I love to chuck on some music whilst I sit there and make them, it’s a great opportunity to slow down and get hands on with your food!

Now when I was developing this recipe I knew we were gonna need lots of herbs to really make the flavour pop, so I didn’t shy away from lots of chives, coriander, ginger and garlic. The tofu mixture tasted so good I was trying not to eat it with a spoon before rolling my dumplings haha. I have another delicious mushroom dumpling recipe I shared a couple of months ago and some of you mentioned you weren’t a huge fan of mushrooms so this is a fantastic alternative!

Step 1

Roughly break up the tofu and add to a food processor with the rest of the Ingredients (excluding the wrappers obviously haha). Process until everything is well combined and herbs look finely chopped.

Set up a little wrapping station with a small bowl of water, the wrappers, a tray and the tofu mixture. Spoon about a teaspoon or two of mixture into the centre of the dumpling wrapper, line one side of the wrapper with a small amount of water and close up your dumpling. I recommend jumping on to YouTube and watching some tutorials. When first trying out my own dumplings I tried a few different ways to wrap them and stuck with the one I found easiest.

At this point you can freeze the ones you aren’t going to cook today

Step 2

Add them to a non stick pan on medium high heat with some oil, fry for 3 - 5 minutes, then add a table spoon water, cover with a lid and let them steam for 5 minutes.

I like to serve mine with chilli oil, tamari, sesame and extra chives. Enjoy!!
