Instructions
- Sauté the onions, garlic, and ginger over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the cabbage and carrots to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to the pan and cook until softened and wilted.
- Next, add the tofu and mushrooms to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add to the pan and cook until most of the moisture has cooked off.
- Once the vegetables are fully wilted, stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Grab two small oven-safe dishes that fit inside your stovetop steamer basket.
- Create a layer of dumpling wrappers in the bottom of each dish, then drizzle 1–2 tablespoons of water over top. Spoon on a layer of filling, then add another layer of dumpling wrappers. Repeat two more times, ending with 4 layers of wrappers and 3 layers of filling, adding 1–2 tablespoons of water after each wrapper layer.
- Place the dishes in the steamer basket and steam for 18–20 minutes, until heated through and tender.
- Finish with chili oil, green onions, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
