Step 1

If making dumpling wrappers from scratch, start by making those.

Step 2

Dice an onion, 2 carrots and mushrooms very finely (or alternatively, add to a food processor to chop finely). If you have any other veggies you’d like to add, such as zucchini, chop those as well (note: if you use extra veggies, you may have a few extra dumplings and need more dumpling wrappers).

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat, then add onions, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Mince garlic and add to the onions.

Step 5

Once the onions have turned a translucent colour, add the mushrooms and continue stirring occasionally. Once they have cooked down, add in the carrots.

Step 6

Remove the veggies from heat after about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Start assembling the dumplings by adding a bit of water around the edge (this will allow the wrapper to seal once closed). Then, add a heaping tsp of the veggie filling to the middle of the dumpling wrapper. Fold the wrapper halfway, sealing closed, then pull the corners backwards and push them together to form the dumpling.

Step 8

Repeat with all of the dumplings.

Step 9

To a large pot, add about 2 cm of water to the bottom and turn on medium-high heat. Add a steamer to the pot, then add in the dumplings and close the pot with a lid.

Step 10

Steam the dumplings for 10-15 minutes until the dumplings are cooked (the time may differ depending on the wrappers you use).

Step 11

While the dumplings are steaming, prepare the sauce in a bowl or jar by combining the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sweet chili sauce and garlic powder.

Step 12

Serve the dumplings with the sauce drizzled on top, chopped green onion and sesame seeds, and enjoy!
