Yield: 35-40 dumplings
Ingredients:
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms
1/2 cup coarsely grated carrots
1/2 cup leftover cooked greens, chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
35 to 40 small wonton wrappers
Bowl of water, plus additional water for steamer
Non-stick vegetable spray, Napa Cabbage leaves or Lettuce leaves for the steamer
Honey Soy Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
Method:
Chop the shiitake mushrooms and place in a large mixing bowl.
Add the carrots, greens, scallions, ginger, parsley soy sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, egg, salt, and pepper. Lightly stir to combine.
To form the dumplings, remove 1 wonton wrapper from the package, covering the others with a damp cloth. Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with water.
Place 1 rounded teaspoon of the vegetable mixture in the center of the wrapper. Shape and seal as desired. Set on a sheet pan and cover with a damp cloth. Repeat procedure until all of the filling is used.
Preheat a steaming apparatus of your choice. Spray the steamer rack lightly with the non-stick vegetable spray to prevent sticking or lay several cabbage or lettuce leaves on the bamboo rack or steamer. Place as many dumplings as will fit into the steamer, positioning the dumplings so that they do not touch each other.
Cover and steam until dumpling wrappers are soft and tender, usually 10 to 12 minutes over medium heat.
