Ingredients

Scale

1 cup firm tofu, drained and crumbled
1 cup carrots, finely grated
1 cup green cabbage, finely chopped
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
20 dumpling wrappers
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

Drain and press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Crumble it into a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the carrots, cabbage, green onions, garlic, and ginger, then add them to the bowl with the tofu.
Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil; season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
Place about one tablespoon of filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Wet the edges with water, fold into a half-moon shape, and seal tightly.
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the dumplings until golden brown on one side. Add water to the skillet and cover with a lid to steam until cooked through.
