Ingredients

  • 1 tsp or tbsp Ginger
  • 2 Green onions
  • 1 clove Fresh Garlic
  • Your preference Soy sauce
  • Your preference on how many you want. Carrots
  • One Cabbage
  • One package Mushroom
  • Your preference Sesame oil
  • A pack Wonton wrappers

Instructions

  1. 1Chop up all your veggies and sauté them in a large pan. This will be the filling.
  2. 2Add in your green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper for taste.
  3. 3While your filling cools, prepare your favorite dipping sauce.
  4. 4Add the filling to your wonton wrappers. Fold the wrappers in a half moon shape. Then fold back and forth on the sides. Pat your dumplings on a flat surface, insuring that they can stand up on there own.
  5. 5You can freeze your dumplings or cook them. I froze half of mine and cooked the others. To cook them, add dumplings to a large pan and let them cook until a crisp has formed on the bottom.
  6. 6Add water in your pan and cover it. Let your dumplings cook. It doesn’t take that long.
  7. 7Plate and enjoy!

Why the Best Vegetarian Meals Don't Try to Fake Meat

Butternut lasagna, French onion soup, and dumplings are complete meals on their own — no meat substitute needed to make them satisfying.

Cooks on Pepper lean on eggs, beans, halloumi, and Parmesan to add richness without opening a package of processed vegan crumbles.

The recipes here are the community's Meatless Monday rotation — dinners that a devout carnivore would still finish.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Beans need more salt

    Legumes are bland unless heavily seasoned — don't be shy with salt, acid, and spice.

  2. 2

    Add an egg on top

    A jammy egg over any grain bowl adds richness and rounds out the protein.

  3. 3

    Toast your nuts

    Thirty seconds in a dry pan wakes up walnuts, pine nuts, and almonds — night-and-day flavor.

  4. 4

    Umami boosters

    Miso, soy sauce, Parmesan, and nutritional yeast give vegetarian dishes the depth meat usually provides.
