This one pan dumplings stir fry will be your new weeknight obsession if you love the taste of dumplings but can't tolerate folding, pleating, and steaming dozens of them. Golden crumbled tofu replaces traditional meat filling, tender dumpling wrappers are sliced into slurpable ribbons, and everything gets tossed together in a glossy soy-hoisin sauce infused with ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and fresh lime. It's a high-protein, vegetable-forward weeknight meal that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Crumble in the tofu, season with salt and cornstarch, and cook for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown.
While the tofu cooks, slice your green onions, grate the ginger and garlic, shred the Napa cabbage and carrots, and slice the mushrooms. Add these veggies to the pan with the crispy tofu and cook for 5–7 minutes until they are softened and fragrant.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent the dumpling wrappers from sticking. Slice the dumpling wrappers into strips and boil for 5–7 minutes, stirring often.
Drain the cooked wrappers and add them to the pan with the tofu and vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice. Toss everything vigorously until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve topped with sesame seeds, green onions, and a drizzle of chili oil. Enjoy!
