Vegan Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao)???? Took out my homemade soup dumplings from the freezer, steamed them, and reshot them to show their sexy side ???currently eatinggg yummmmmmm. Sooo here’s the recipe:
Broth: 2 cup water, 1 tbl tamari, 1 tbl veggie bouillon/paste , 1 1/2 tsp agar agar Wrapper: 200 g flour (double zero flour recommended but you can use all purpose flour), 2 tsp neutral oil, 1/2-3/4 cup hot water. Filling: 4 ounces store bought pre pressed extra firm tofu (1/2 cup when packed), 1/4 cup dried shitaki mushrooms (6-7 ct) hydrated in cold water then finely chopped, 3 green onions finely chopped (whites & light green parts), 1/4 cup each of cabbage & carrots shredded & finely chopped, 1/2 tbl sesame oil, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1/4 tsp white pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp ginger powder Makes 20-22 dumplings.
1️⃣ On stovetop bring broth ingredients to a boil for about a minute while stirring. Pour in a shallow pan. Put in fridge at least one half hour till agar sets & is firm.
2️⃣In a food processor add flour, process on high, slowly add hot water & oil. It will soon form a smooth ball. Then knead with hands a couple of minutes. Wrap with kitchen towel & rest 1 hr
3️⃣ For the filling: mash tofu in the a bowl till crumbly. Add the rest of filling ingredients.
4️⃣Once agar has set use a knife to finely dice into tiny cubes. Add half of the agar to the filling.
5️⃣ Cut dough into three equal pieces. Take one piece, wrap remaining pieces. On a well floured surface, roll into a log about 3/4 in thick, cut into 1 1/2 in pieces. Roll each piece into a 4 in disk leaving the center thicker than the edges. Make sure edges are thin for easy pleating.
6️⃣To assemble add 1 tbl of filling to the center of dumpling wrapper. Top with 1 tsp of remaining agar. Pleat to seal. Repeat. Check highlights for pleating demo ? or an easier option: just fold the top, bottom, left, & right edges & them join in the middle & firmly seal open seams with fingers.
7️⃣In a steamer lined with parchment paper steam dumplings 8-10 min till broth returns to a liquid.Enjoy
