Vegetarian Dumplings (EASY & Healthy!) - Tiffy Cooks (2024)

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.

Vegetarian Dumplings is a family recipe that we have been making for years.

I love having dumplings for breakfast, but these Vegetarian dumplings are perfect since it is light and refreshing.

The cabbage provides a crunchy texture, and the noodles and mushrooms are chewy. Other vegetarian ingredients you can add are black fungus, sweet corn, or scrambled eggs.

You can enjoy these vegetarian dumplings, both boiled and pan-fried.

The Boiling method is usually my go-to since it is easier and faster. Since dumplings are boiled in water, it is always better to have them slightly saltier to have more flavor when cooked.

If your dumpling wrapper is on a thinner side (potsticker wrappers), I recommend pan-frying to prevent breakage.

My go-to dipping sauce for these Vegetarian dumplings is my homemade chili oil, black vinegar, and sesame seeds.

You can also dip the vegetarian dumplings in the vegetarian oyster sauce or soy sauce with grated garlic.

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.
